Production will begin in late 2018 in Ridgeville, South Carolina. A 2.3 million square foot plant will build approximately 60,000 vehicles per year for the US and export markets. The capacity can go up to 100,000 vehicles per year if demand requires it. The plant is the sixth Volvo, which joins two European sites, two Chinese and one Malaysian. It is expected that about 2,000 workers staff the plant. In April 2017, the construction company completed the construction of the complex's hull.
