Volvo Cars CEO Says Customers Must Pay for Rising Tariffs

  • On May 23, 2024, the chief executive of Volvo Cars expressed concern that rising U.S. tariffs could make it unfeasible to bring the affordable EX30 electric vehicle into the American market.
  • The threat arises from President Trump's proposed 50% tariff on European goods effective June 1, with Volvo's EX30 initially made in China and then Belgium.
  • Volvo delayed U.S. Sales of the EX30 and increased its price from $35,000 to $46,195 due to tariffs, while production in Ghent began in April 2024 to mitigate costs.
  • Samuelsson said the EX30 was 'very severely hit' by tariffs and customers would bear much of the increased cost, but he remains hopeful of a soon-to-be trade agreement.
  • If tariffs rise, Volvo may find it impossible to sell the EX30 in the U.S., signaling broader challenges in transatlantic trade and prompting adjustments in production and strategy.
