Chinese manufactured Volvo S60L to be sold in US

Global Business

The new Volvo S60L is in production and will sell to the U.S. market in just a few months. And, for the first time, all the vehicles are being produced in China. Global automakers have previously chosen not to ship vehicles made in China to the U.S. market in any significant numbers. It’s part of a turnaround strategy for Volvo by its Chinese owner Geely, and could have a significant influence for other auto-makers in China.

CCTV’s Liu Yang reports from Chengdu, where the S60L is being made.

  • Chinese companies such as Great Wall Motor have exported primarily to developing countries. Experts say the real test for Chinese auto makers is to make Chinese brands that are accepted in developed markets like Europe and the U.S. As China’s industrial transformation continues, it may not be long before that happens.
