Volvo launches 1st locally-assembled 'XC90' from its plant in Bengaluru

Mumbai, Oct 11 (UNI) Volvo Cars, the Swedish luxury car maker, has rolled out its first assembled car from its plant in Bengaluru. The launch of the luxurious XC90 on Tuesday was in line with its announcement earlier this summer that it would start assembly operations in India in 2017. The roll-out of first locally assembled Volvo Car speaks volumes for the company’s commitment to grow further in India. The assembly operations are focused on models based on Volvo’s scalable product architecture (SPA) modular vehicle architecture. "It’s a moment of great pride for all of us at Volvo Cars," said Charles Frump, the newly appointed managing director for Volvo Auto India, while speaking on the occasion. "With global standards in quality, we are a formidable luxury car company in India and on-track to gain a bigger share of the segment," he added. Volvo Cars decision to assemble its models locally reflects the ‘Make in India’ initiative. UNI JM SS NP1728
