The Volvo news does not signal the end of the internal combustion engine. The company’s definition of electrified includes mild hybrid cars — vehicles with small electric motors that allow traditional gasoline and diesel engines to turn off at stop lights and get the vehicles moving again before the engines restart.

...which means hybrids and pure-electric cars for now. Volvo cars with internal combustion engines are not disappearing in 2019.
