JAKARTA - Volkswagen announced it will discontinue gasoline, diesel, and hybrid-powered cars in Norway. Thus, the German car manufacturer will only sell electric vehicles (EV) starting January 1, 2024.

Norway is the world's leading country in terms of EV vs ICE sales. By 2021, 64.5% of all cars sold in the Scandinavian country will be fully electric. Launching from InsideEVs, Norwegian outlet Postsen means that Volkswagen will focus on selling EVs.

"Volkswagen will cease all sales of gasoline, diesel, and hybrid cars in Norway on January 1, 2024. Director Ulf Tore Hekneby of Volkswagen importer Harald A. Møller will announce an event in Arendalsuka on Thursday," the company wrote.

VW aims that 100 percent of all new car sales in Norway should be zero-emissions by the end of 2025. According to InsideEVs records, in the first half of 2022, the best-selling EV in Norway will be the Tesla Model Y. This is followed by Volkswagen ID.4 in second place.

In addition, sales of the Tesla Model 3 have declined significantly in Norway, which is likely due to the arrival of new competitors such as the BMW i4 and the launch of the Tesla Model Y in Europe.

On the other hand, Volkswagen AG and Mahindra & Mahindra are expanding their cooperation and have signed a worksheet in which the German automaker will supply electrical components to their Indian counterparts.
