Build week 46?

[My22xc60]

Out of interest, just wondering what the significance of build week 46 is when it comes to Volvo's manufacturing process?

The user manuals, for example, are annotated as: "2021 Early (2020w17)", "2021 Late (2020w46)" and "2022 (2021w22)" etc.

If the pattern continues, there'll then be a 2021w46 appearing at some point that refers to cars built after 15th November 2021. Looking back as far as 2014, these weeks have basically followed the same pattern year-on-year.

Its just the half year update for production. Sometimes means minor changes to spec or look of the vehicle and sometimes might be a'facelift' change ( like the V40 from week 46 in 2016 which gave the thors hammer headlamp )
