New Hybrid SUV Production: Volvo will start manufacturing a new hybrid SUV at its South Carolina plant to reduce losses from imported vehicles, aligning with its strategy to increase U.S. production.
Shift in Strategy: The introduction of the hybrid model marks a departure from Volvo's commitment to be fully electric by 2030, driven by declining EV adoption, U.S. tariffs, and significant financial losses, including a $1B operating loss in Q2.
