Look inside the factory: this is how the Volvo EX60 is built

Modernization of the production line

To make the arrival of the Volvo EX60 possible, the Torslanda plant underwent a major transformation. Volvo invested about SEK 10 billion (€928 million) in new technologies and facilities. Volvo can now use:

Megacasting: a technique in which large aluminum body parts are cast as one unit. This reduces weight and improves the rigidity of the car.

Battery assembly: a new on-site facility where battery packs are assembled before being placed in the vehicles.

Renewed paint shop and final assembly: The existing lines have been fully adapted to the specific requirements of electric drive lines.

Economic impact for the region

The production of the EX60 is not only a technical process, but also an economic factor for western Sweden. Volvo expects the EX60 to become one of the country’s largest export products by value. Because of the strong order book in Europe – even before the American and Asian markets have opened – production figures for 2026 have already been revised upward.

Håkan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars, said, “We are now focused on steadily scaling up production of the high-performance EX60 to ensure that this groundbreaking car becomes a profitable growth engine in the coming years.”

Increase production volumes

The decision to increase production volumes for 2026 followed strong initial customer demand for the car in key markets such as Sweden and Germany, as well as orders from individuals that significantly exceeded internal forecasts in almost all major European markets.

After this strong order inflow in Europe – and with order books for the U.S. and Asian markets opening later this spring – Volvo Cars has decided to build more EX60s by 2026. The goal is to keep the Torslanda plant open one week longer this summer.

Different versions Volvo EX60

The EX60 offers a solid range of up to 810 km and charges from 10 to 80% in 16 minutes. There will be several versions, namely the P6, P10 AWD and the P12 AWD.
