Volvo India's gear shift: Changes EV-only plan; ICE models to stay amid slow uptake
Volvo Cars India has revised its earlier strategy of transitioning to an all-electric portfolio, opting instead to continue selling both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in the country. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now currently account for around 25% of Volvo's sales in India. However, the market for premium battery electric vehicles (BEVs) remains small, although the company notes signs of recovery in the last six months following a slump a year ago. The decision comes after companies' previous claims to phase out ICE models entirely. Volvo Cars India, managing director Jyoti Malhotra, speaking to Economic Times, said 'The adoption rate (of electric vehicles) is different in different countries. And even within the country (in India), it's different across states.' 'We will continue to drive in electric cars and have a launch lined up later this year itself. But at the same time, we will continue to focus on ICE,' he added. Volvo had announced plans to go fully electric by 2030 globally, but the timelines have now been extended. 'About a year back, EVs had started losing steam. We are seeing some uptick in the segment in the last six months. But customer needs are different across regions,' said Malhotra. He pointed out that state policies and infrastructure play a pivotal role in EV adoption. States like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi have favourable tax regimes and more low-rise housing, are seeing better uptake, compared to cities dominated by high-rises, where home charging is a challenge. India currently levies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% on EVs, while hybrids attract a much steeper 43%. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Volvo offers plug-in hybrids in international markets, but Malhotra clarified that Indian launches would depend on more favourable tax regime. The company is preparing to introduce a new electric model later this year but will simultaneously retain focus on ICE vehicles to cater to diverse market needs. Volvo's shift aligns with similar moves by global peers such as Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz, who are reassessing their timelines for a fully electric portfolio amid similar market realities. Industry data shows that around 22,900 luxury vehicles were sold in the first half of 2025, marking a modest 1.8% increase year-on-year. He also welcomed India's ongoing negotiations around Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), noting their potential to boost the auto sector. 'The UK FTA has set a benchmark. While the one with the EU is still some time away, free trade agreements are good for the economy,' he said.

New Jersey Man Buys Limousine Off Facebook At Unbelievable Price, Wife's Reaction Wins Internet
A man from New Jersey bought a second-hand limousine for fun from Facebook Marketplace. His wife called it childish, but the family's joy made the quirky purchase go viral When we think of big, luxurious cars, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a limousine. Known for its long frame and lavish interiors, a limousine is usually seen as a symbol of wealth and status. Recently, one such car became the centre of a viral moment, not because of its grandeur, but due to how it was bought. A man named Tom Adam, from New Jersey, United States, spotted an old limousine listed at a surprisingly cheap price on Facebook Marketplace. Without wasting any time, he purchased it for just £1,300 (approximately Rs 1.5 lakh). His spontaneous buy and the joyous aftermath have now gone viral, with millions viewing the heartwarming video online. Tom, 43, had always dreamed of owning a limousine, not for show, but simply for fun. Though the vehicle wasn't in the best shape and needed repairs costing another £1,000 (around Rs 1.1 lakh), he bought it without a second thought. Tom's wife, Avigail Adam, initially thought it was just another odd whim of her husband's. 'I rolled my eyes, thinking this was another childish act of Tom," she admitted. But the moment she saw him grinning ear to ear inside the car, her opinion changed. 'When I stepped inside and saw how happy he was, I couldn't help but smile too. This was his dream, and now it's come true. I've always believed in turning dreams into reality," Avigail added. The couple shared the moment on Instagram, where the video quickly went viral. In the clip, Tom, Avigail, and their four children can be seen laughing and enjoying a ride in the limousine, which the kids were equally thrilled about. The internet loved their quirky purchase. One user commented, 'The limousine is also a family car now!" while another said, 'This is the best use of adult money I've ever seen." Jokes also poured in, with one user writing, 'If my husband has even nine pence left, he'll buy a limousine," while another added, 'When your heart remains young even after you've grown up…" Avigail, in her social media post, confirmed they had spent another £1,000 on repairs, calling it 'a moving living room." However, she warned others, 'If you're planning to get a limousine from Facebook Marketplace, remember, parking it is a nightmare!"

Ford recalls 312K trucks fearing brake failure: See if your car is at risk
Automobile manufacturer Ford is recalling 312,000 vehicles over an issue with the power brake assist, as per National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Around 312,120 Ford vehicles have been affected. Image for representation(Unsplash) The auto regulator has noted that the problem lies with the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) module, which may lose power when someone is driving. This would extend stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. In case the module malfunctions when the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems features are on, it could also result in the vehicle not braking as expected, increasing crash risks as well. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems features are smart safety features to help drivers avoid accidents. How to fix the issue As per the NHTSA, the issue can be fixed by updating the software over-the-air, or by a dealer. These would both be free of charge. How to check if your car has been impacted Around 312,120 vehicles have been affected, including Ford's 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco and Ranger vehicles. Notably, owners are expected to get letters notifying them of the issue by August 25. If they don't get one, they can always check with Ford's customer service if their vehicle has been impacted too. The Navigator is a Large Luxury SUV that can seat up to eight people. Ford says it is designed 'with thoughtful technology' to place the driver at the center of it all. The Ford F-150 is the much-loved pickup truck and the company states 'From the vocational truck that works as hard as you, to a mighty weekend warrior to help you break free from the daily grind.' The Bronco is described as a 'rugged and versatile' vehicle that can be used to 'conquer any terrain'. Finally, the Ranger is a compact or mid-size pickup that offers a powerful engine and good ground clearance.
