Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year
Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese
brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are
far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase
Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US
shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo
exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report,
although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-
built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a
timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most
populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States
rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the
Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro
situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned
company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency
swings.
Volvo is currently looking at other markets for export, as well, which could
include moving Chinese-built XC90s to Russia. |
