Volvo is accelerating production of its EX30 and EX90 electric vehicles in Belgium to avoid potential tariffs on EVs made in China. This shift aligns with Volvo’s strategy to produce vehicles closer to where they are sold, while also meeting rising demand for affordable EVs in Europe. Interesting times!

When the Trump tariffs were initially imposed, Volvo implemented a strategic shift in production. The manufacturing of XC60 vehicles destined for the United States market was relocated from China to Sweden.

Clever move by Volvo! They're dodging the tariff roadblocks and giving Europe what it wants, affordable EVs made closer to home. Looks like they’re shifting gears on strategy to keep up with the times!
Yeah, Volvo’s adjusting production to navigate tariffs and demand. The U.S. plant handles Americas, but Belgium stepping up for Europe makes sense. It is always interesting to see strategy shifts.Oh, really? I thought the US plant was making them for the Americas, and China was handling the rest of the world. Guess you learn something new every day!
I follow industry news, official announcements, and forums.
Absolutely, It’s a smart play, adapting to market demands while avoiding tariffs. Volvo’s strategy shift should help keep their EVs competitive and more accessible in Europe.
