3. No. Future models will be hybrid or electric

While they continue to make gas and diesel models based on current designs.

At some point (at an unannounced date), they will presumably phase out gas and diesel vehicles.

5. Right all old designs are phased out with new ones

Usually takes about three or four years before a design is updated. So I'm guessing it will still take a couple decades before all-gas and diesel are phased out.

2. Not exactly true...

Only new models (as of 2019) will meet these standards, but they will still produce gas and diesel based on current designs.

4. Volvos save a lot of lives

Now they seem deadest on helping save the world.
