I have heard that RHD EX30s will continue to be built in China (as the main RHD markets are closer to China than Ghent [Japan, NZ, Australia] it is just the UK which is an outlier). Ghent will then focus on LHD only. How true that is I don't know as the cost of shipping must be significant and I am not sure how much simplicity is really gained from running a factory exclusively on LHD.

Volvo expect the EX30 to be a big seller in the US but given the political tensions and trade barriers between China and the US, I'd bet that EX30s for the US will not be built in China so Europe would seem the obvious place (for now at least).

After waiting a while for the right spec XC60 to pop up I’ve finally placed an order for a ‘stock’ MY25 B5 Plus Dark today with an estimated delivery of 12 weeks. It’s showing as ‘queued for production’ so I’m assuming MY25 has shifted production to Europe from reading back on this forum? I guess it still needs a build slot and to be shipped/prepped in approx 3 months which would be wildly over optimistic if it’s coming from China?

It's a MY25 as I was able to enter the details into the App and it brought up the car as a 2025 |

I assume Y means it was built in Sweden?

The 11th character of the VIN is the plant assembly code:
0 = [Sweden] Kalmar PlantMine is a 'B' therefore built in Chengdu. Positions 1-3 are the World Manufacturer Identifier: YV1 = Passenger Cars

We ordered our XC60 back in Feb, just had an email saying it's been built and delivery in June!
Originally told we'd be waiting until October. |

Spoke to Volvo UK today and found out that my car is due into the UK 26-30 May and with the dealer 1-6 June. It was built on 8 Apr in China so that's two months from build to delivery (asuuming it goes to plan ).
However, I've heard nothing from the dealer in months and the Volvo website shows delivery in two months time; i.e. end June which was the last date I'd been given. If I hadn't called today I'd be unaware that it's been brought forward. It's as if having two sales channels (direct and dealer) means that neither is taking responsibility for keeping the buyer informed. Are others getting a more proactive service from either channel?

My sales girl was lovely kept in touch monthly even if there was no update, felt pretty valued, then for whatever reason they sacked her off and was left in the hands of the sales Manager, useless, zero comms for months until the car arrived and they wanted paid, this was before the two channels.
