Volvo Cars is ramping up 2026 production of its fully electric EX60 SUV following stronger-than-expected demand across Europe. Early order intake in Sweden and Germany has surpassed internal forecasts, prompting the automaker to increase planned output at its Torslanda plant.
Notably, order books are currently open only in European markets. U.S. customers will gain access later this spring — making the early momentum even more impressive.
EX60 Orders Outpace EX30 Launch
According to Volvo, the pace of orders for the EX60 is significantly higher than what it recorded for the Volvo EX30 after its 2023 global debut. That’s particularly striking given the EX30 competes in a high-volume, lower-price segment.
The EX60, positioned as a premium electric SUV, is clearly resonating with European buyers seeking longer range, faster charging, and Scandinavian design.
Production Expansion at Torslanda
To meet demand, Volvo plans to increase EX60 output at its Volvo Torslanda Plant in Sweden. The company is currently in discussions with labor unions about keeping the plant open for an additional week during the summer — a move that would mark a first in Volvo’s history.
Despite the acceleration, Volvo says it remains committed to a steady and high-quality production ramp-up as customer deliveries approach.
Erik Severinson, Chief Commercial Officer at Volvo Cars, said the strong order intake “surpassed expectations,” calling it a positive challenge as the brand prepares for the start of customer production next month.
Up to 810 km of Range
Revealed in January to widespread acclaim, the EX60 is positioned as a game-changing model for the brand. In all-wheel-drive configuration, it delivers up to 810 km (503 miles) of range on a single charge — placing it among the longest-range electric SUVs in its class.
Charging performance is equally competitive. Volvo says the EX60 can add up to 340 km (211 miles) of range substantial range in just ten minutes when using a 400kW fast charger, reinforcing its no-compromise approach to electrification.
With U.S. order books set to open soon, the EX60 could become one of Volvo’s most important global EV launches to date — and early European demand suggests the company may need to prepare for even higher volumes in 2026.
