Volvo USA Sales Strong in South

Sales grew stronger week-over-week during the month of April

The Volvo S60 is produced in South Carolina.

Volvo Car USA reports 3,866 cars were sold in April, improving week-over-week sales performance throughout the month. Sales were especially strong in Volvo’s southern region and its retailers.

“Though we continue to feel the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has also pushed us to find new ways to continue offering sales and service to our customers,” said Anders Gustafsson, president and CEO of Volvo Car USA.

“I’m especially proud of our retailer partners who’ve managed to safely serve our customers during this time, as well as supporting their communities.”

Volvo’s Ridgeville, South Carolina plant, which opened in 2018, produces the S60 mid-size sedan. The 2.3 million-square-foot plant, which employs approximately 1,500 workers, sits on 1,600 acres. A second production line at the plant for the next generation XC90 sport utility vehicle is expected to begin production in 2022.
