flag Volvo is expanding its Ridgeville, South Carolina plant to produce the XC60 and a new next-generation hybrid model, aiming to avoid tariffs, meet U.S. demand, and strengthen its local presence. flag The move, part of a broader strategy to regionalize manufacturing, shifts production of the popular XC60 from Europe and supports plans for a U.S.-specific hybrid vehicle by 2030. flag The $1.3 billion facility, now capable of producing 150,000 vehicles annually, has been upgraded with new production lines and multi-platform capabilities. flag This expansion helps Volvo reduce reliance on imports amid uncertain tariffs on vehicles from Europe and China, while improving delivery times and supply chain resilience.
