Volvo’s S90 sedans are all now produced in China
- Volvo Cars' production capacity in Europe is 600,000 vehicles per year (300,000 units in Gothenburg, Sweden and 300,000 units in Ghent, Belgium). However, the manufacturer's production is likely to reach this figure by 2017 and will surpass it in subsequent years, following the launch of new models (V40, XC40, S60, V60).
- In order to avoid being unable to meet demand, Volvo Cars decided to use its plants outside Europe:
1. By transferring part of its production to its Chinese plant in Daqing in 2017.
2. By transferring part of its production to its US plant in 2018 ( plant to be opened in 2018).
- For Volvo Cars to achieve its target of 800,000 sales in 2020 (against 600,000 in 2017), the manufacturer will have to manufacture 600,000 cars in Europe, 100,000 in China and 100,000 in the United States.
- The Volvo S90 sedans, marketed around the world since spring 2016 and manufactured in Sweden at the historic site of Volvo in Gothenburg, are now all manufactured in China and exported worldwide.
- The Gothenburg plant will continue to produce the X60, XC90 and V90, while the Ghent plant (Gent) will concentrate on the V40, XC40, S60 and V60, awaiting a possible transfer of these two models to China or the USA.
