Volvo Cars starts European production of EX30

The EX30 was introduced in late 2023, and Volvo announced its intent to produce the model at the Ghent plant, which will also start production of the EX30 Cross Country later in the year. The company states that the addition of the EX30 to the Ghent production line will result in around 350 new jobs at the plant, bringing total employment to almost 6,600 people. To make EX30 production possible in Ghent, the company made investments worth around EUR 200 million in its Belgian facility in recent years.

Changes to the plant include the addition of a completely new car platform, the installation of almost 600 new or refurbished robots, an extension of the battery hall, a new door production line as well as a new battery pack assembly line. Between the Ghent, Belgium and Torslanda, Sweden plants, Volvo Cars now produces 10 different electric and hybrid car models in Europe..
