Volvo Car India is exuberantly celebrating a major milestone in its production journey – the successful completion of 10,000 cars manufactured within the country. This significant achievement was commemorated with the assembly of the 10,000th unit, a prestigious Volvo XC40 Recharge, at the manufacturing facility located in Hoskote, near Bangalore.
Embarking on its assembly operations in India in 2017, Volvo Car India began its journey with the Volvo XC90, which proudly claimed the title of being the inaugural car to roll off the production line.
Over the ensuing years, this manufacturing facility has played a crucial role in assembling a diverse range of models, including the XC90, XC60, S90, XC40 Recharge, and the more recent addition – the sophisticated C40 Recharge. Among these stellar models, the XC60 has particularly shone, surpassing a remarkable 4,000 units in production.
Jyoti Malhotra, the esteemed Managing Director of Volvo Car India, expressed immense pride in achieving this noteworthy milestone within a relatively short timeframe, despite the challenges posed by nearly three years of the global pandemic. The consistent expansion of production capacities at the Bangalore facility stands as a testament to Volvo's unwavering commitment to India's luxury mobility sector.
Underscoring the profound importance of the 10,000th car, Malhotra emphasized that the distinguished honor goes to the XC40 Recharge – a stellar representation of Volvo's foray into electric mobility with a pure electric SUV. The choice of the XC40 Recharge for this milestone vehicle is a poignant reflection of the enduring trust and confidence that consumers place in Volvo's exceptional offerings. Malhotra took a moment to extend heartfelt gratitude to Volvo Car India's entire ecosystem, recognizing and appreciating the collaborative efforts that have played a crucial role in transforming this milestone into a tangible reality.
In essence, this celebration marks not just a numerical achievement but a testament to Volvo's resilience, dedication, and the unwavering support it enjoys from the Indian market. As the 10,000th car rolls off the production line, it echoes the success story of Volvo Car India, showcasing its commitment to delivering excellence in the realm of luxury mobility.
