What is the meaning of this? The world of engineering has gone mad I tell you... What Volvo have said is that they will cease making diesel and petrol only cars from 2019 and will only manufacture all-electric and hybrid vehicles, the later having internal combustion units powering electric motors.

For years all I would drive were Saab's, a superb but idiosyncratic marque that died a slow death 'cos GM really did not know what to do with it.

I liked Saab, very much a sister brand to Volvo, and followed the same path of solid, common sense engineering. GM did what they always do, negate engineering passion in favour of soulless accounting. It didn't work out though, a Vectra with a Saab badge is still a Vectra.

In fairness, we cannot stand in the way of progress and it is very true that an alternative to diesel engines etc., do or will need to be found, but until they can also develop the infrastructure required for drivers to use electrical powered cars, it is a white elephant. I'm sure that most would much prefer not having to fork out for fuel at the pumps which is an obvious expense to most car owners, but?

Volvo, if nothing else, produced reliable & robust motors and although I couldn't guess what their turnover is, they are not fools and would have been working on and developing an alternative to diesel in order to be ahead of the field, as I'm afraid that later on down the line diesel/petrol engines will become a thing from the past. Mind you, they said that about Steam, and yet we use that to power more things today than ever before... I just cannot imagine any other type of engine for our cars being better in terms of performance and enjoyment unless they are top-end motors outside of the average persons price range.

There is some argument I think about the current "Diesel" engines actually being derived from the Akroyd-Stewart oil engine and that Rudolph Diesel was actually a little upstart who design was never progressed. Gardner never used the word "diesel" and always described their enines as "oil engines" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that billions poured into cutting edge technology and they have to revert to tactics that British Leyland had down decades ago to get any advantage.

I had several BL cars, none of them burned oil .. you are thinking of the Wartburg Knight and the Trabant .. German engineering at its very best.

Guest deebom Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Anyone who says electric cars are shit obviously hasn't seen a Tesla. I don't see Tesla becoming a major player, but what that Musk cunt will do is establish the technology, show everyone how fucking incredible it is, then flog it to one of the big manufacturers.
