Volvo has committed to selling a total of one million electrified cars by 2025.

The company announced the build at Auto Shanghai in China and said the new model would be based on its Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) for smaller cars.

Describing electrification as “the answer to sustainable mobility”, Volvo Cars’ chief executive Håkan Samuelsson said the company supported the Chinese government’s call for cleaner air.

“It is fully in-line with our own core values of environmental care, quality and safety,” Samuelsson said.

Being the world’s largest sales market for electrified cars, China has set itself targets to expand sales of electric cars and hybrid cars in a bid to address congestion and air quality issues in its cities.
