Chinese-owned Swedish auto giant Volvo will stop selling petrol vehicles in Australia by 2026, four years earlier than its global target to transition to electric vehicles (EV) by 2030.

Stephen Connor, managing director of Volvo Australia, said the move would give the carmaker a “strategic advantage” in the market.
