Volvo Cars has announced plans to increase production of its fully electric EX60 SUV in 2026 following stronger-than-expected customer demand across key European markets.
Just weeks after the vehicle’s global reveal, the Volvo EX60 has already recorded order volumes exceeding internal forecasts, particularly in markets such as Sweden and Germany. In Sweden alone, the company has received more than 3,000 orders, supported by a new “Care” offer that includes simplified purchasing, transparent pricing, and three years of free home charging.
According to the company, the pace of order intake for the EX60 has outperformed the early demand seen for the Volvo EX30 following its global debut in 2023, despite the EX30 being positioned in a lower-priced, high-volume segment.
Currently, order books for the EX60 are open only in European markets, while customers in the United States will be able to place orders later this spring.
To meet the rising demand, Volvo Cars is planning to increase production at its Torslanda Plant in Sweden. The automaker is also in discussions with labour unions to keep the factory operational for an additional week during the summer, a move that would mark the first time in the company’s history.
Commenting on the strong response, Erik Severinson said the initial demand for the electric SUV has surpassed expectations, describing it as a positive challenge for the company as it prepares to start customer vehicle production next month.
The EX60 is positioned as a key model in Volvo’s electrification strategy, offering class-leading driving range and ultra-fast charging capabilities that the company says can match the time of a typical coffee stop. The electric SUV is also priced in line with Volvo’s best-selling Volvo XC60, making it an attractive option for customers transitioning to fully electric mobility.
Volvo Cars expects the EX60 to play a major role in accelerating its shift toward an all-electric lineup, while strengthening its presence in the global electric SUV market.
