Volvo to launch 13 new cars by end of 2030 in huge product push

Volvo will launch 13 new cars by the end of 2030 in its biggest product plan in its 99-year history, including seven models for Western markets and six designed specifically for China. The company says it will regionalise its lineup due to “technology restrictions, trade tariffs and diverging customers preferences,” while aiming to turn regionalisation into a competitive advantage. The seven Western-market vehicles will use the SPA2 and SPA3 architectures and Volvo’s HuginCore platform, covering markets including the UK, while six China-dedicated models will be developed with Geely and built on shared platforms with a dedicated Chinese software stack. Volvo also plans to double its share in full-BEV and invest in a third-generation hybrid system.
