Volvo has ramped up production capacity for its all-electric EX30 SUV at the Torslanda factory after demand exceeded company projections.
The EX60 made its debut in late January 2026 and generated significant interest with its advanced specifications. The SUV delivers up to 503 miles of range on a single charge – making it the longest-range D-segment SUV currently available. That range surpasses competitors like the new BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC.
Order volumes across major European markets have outpaced Volvo’s internal forecasts, according to company officials.
The UK and Germany are reporting particularly strong demand. Sweden, Volvo’s home market, has logged more than 3,000 EX60 orders.
Those numbers become more impressive when considering the EX60 isn’t yet available for order in the United States – one of Volvo’s key markets. The company says EX60 order intake has already surpassed what the EX30 generated in 2023.
Production Adjustments
Volvo is negotiating with workers’ unions to keep the Torslanda factory in Sweden open for an additional week during the summer. This would mark the first time Volvo’s largest manufacturing facility has extended operations during the traditional summer break since production began there in 1964.
The move aims to ensure steady EX60 production increases at the facility.
“That so many customers ordered the EX60 in the first has surpassed our expectations, and it’s a good ‘problem’ to have,” said Volvo Cars’ chief commercial officer, Erik Severinson.
He added that the company is reviewing its 2026 production plans as customer deliveries approach next month.
The EX60 and EX60 Cross Country represent Volvo’s latest electric offerings. Both models are expected to start around £55,000 when sales begin later this year.
Volvo’s current EV lineup includes:
- Full-sized EX90 SUV
- ES90 sedan
- EX30 and EX40 crossovers
- EC40 coupé SUV
The Swedish automaker has committed to producing only electric vehicles as part of its broader electrification strategy.
