   S09EP05 – View from the C-Suite: Volvo Canada’s Matt Girgis

   Way back in 2019, Volvo committed to building nothing but ‘electrified’ vehicles by 2022, and hit that mark with a mix of mild-hybrids, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles. The global brand also laid out plans to build nothing but vehicles with a plug by 2023, but last year adjusted that to 90 per cent with the remaining 10 per cent to consist of mild hybrid models. On this episode of our special View from the C-Suite podcast series, Volvo Canada managing director Matt Girgis joins us to talk about the brand’s strong EV sales in 2024 and how they plan to build on that momentum despite EV incentives going away. We also talk about what role governments at all level can play in furthering EV adoption in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But I'm hopeful that it will be a fairly affordable item from the BMW portfolio. But, you know, never take the technology aside from the panoramic options and the displays and that, but just, you know, over 600 kilometers of range that they're touting. […]
