Volvo’s 1st China plant starts work in Chengdu
Print Edition
Volvo’s first China plant began operations yesterday in Chengdu after the Swedish automaker was acquired by China’s Geely Motor.
Located in the economic and technological development zone in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, the plant has a full assembly line for body framing, welding, painting and general assembly, with first-phase annual capacity of 100,000 vehicles.
The plant also consists of affiliated facilities such as quality check and logistics centers, and an independent test track.
A longer version of the Volvo S60L sedan, specifically modified for the Chinese market, will be assembled at the plant. The car will be put into mass production by the end of this year, according to a strategic plan released by Geely earlier.
The Volvo XC60, a sport-utility vehicle, will also be assembled at the plant later.
