Volvo's Domestic Automotive Plans Include a New Hybrid

The threat of tariffs is prompting a number of overseas automakers to tout the extent of their investment in the U.S., with Hyundai's big investment earlier in the year being a particularly high-profile example. (Albeit with some more recent complications.) But they aren't the only foreign marque with manufacturing operations in the U.S., and this month Volvo offered some hints as to what we can expect from their facility in Ridgeville, South Carolina.

Volvo's next-gen hyrbids will be American-made EREVs

As it struggles with declining sales and an uncertain regulatory environment, Volvo is hoping to realign its fortunes by overhauling its electric vehicle plans. And a big part of that is a bet on hybrid technology - or more specifically, extended-range electric vehicles (EREV). At a factory tour in Ridgeville, South Carolina, Volvo made a series of announcements, including an updated EX90 SUV with an Nvidia-supplied computer and the start of production on the gas-powered XC60. But chief among them was the news that the automaker would begin production of an unnamed EREV, developed specifically for the US market.
