Previously, Volvo Cars has produced the electric car EX90 as well as Polestar outside Charleston, South Carolina. In the spring, the company announced that from next year, it will start production of its XC60 model in the USA. Today's announcement means that before 2030, Volvo Cars will also add a hybrid model to its production in the USA.
No exact date is given in the company's press release, nor are there more details about the model itself, apart from that it "will meet the special requirements of the American market", writes Volvo Cars.
The background is that President Donald Trump has introduced tariffs on cars imported to the USA.
Already in the spring, Volvo Cars' CEO Håkan Samuelsson announced after the tariff decision that Volvo needs to move parts of its production. However, it should not affect the company's employees in Sweden.
