Swedish automaker Volvo successfully produced its first-ever electric minivan, EM90, in Geely’s Hangzhou Bay factory in China on February 6, per the Weibo announcement.
The first mass-produced Volvo EM90 has officially rolled off the assembly line.
Volvo initially unveiled the all-new EM90 electric minivan in November 2023 after previewing it multiple times.
“It’s an age-old cliché, but there really is no place like home.”
Volvo CEO Jim Rowan stated following the EM90 debut
De momento solo está disponible en China, pero he aquí el monovolumen/minivan eléctrico de Volvo: el EM90.
Con una batería de 116 kWh y una potencia de unos 270 cv, está diseñado para que la experiencia vivida a bordo sea lo más cómodo que hayas vivido nunca…
Impressively, Volvo designed the EM90 to offer the most convenient and enjoyable driving experience. It offers superior comfort and flexibility for both business and pleasure.
The Swedish automaker refers to the EM90 as a “Scandinavian living room on wheels,” which includes luxury lounge seating. It also features rear cupholders, a fold-out table, massage functions, and a foldable 15.6-inch rear screen, among others. It also offers innovative software, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms.
By simply pushing a button, the electric minivan transforms into a movie theatre, business boardroom, or even a bedroom, depending on the owner’s needs.
Powertrain specs
The Volvo EM90 rides on its parent company’s SEA platform, like Polestar 4, Lotus Eletre, and all ZEEKR EVs. Presented below are the key specifications of the new electric minivan:
Volvo plans to initially launch the EM90 in the Chinese market for 818,000 yuan ($115,000).
The Swedish automaker has yet to announce if it will bring the electric minivan to other foreign markets in the future, depending on the model’s success in the Chinese market.
As of now, we know that the EM90 deliveries will kick off in March 2024 in China.
The Volvo EM90 will play a crucial role in the company’s goal to have electric vehicles account for 50% (around 600,000) of its vehicle sales by 2025. By the end of the decade, it aims to become an all-electric brand to stay competitive in the rapidly growing market.

About the PACT coalition
According to the press release, Daimler, Volvo, and Navistar officially launched the Powering America’s Commercial Transportation (“PACT“) coalition on January 30, 2024. Some of its founding members are ABB E-mobility, Burns & McDonnell, Greenlane™, J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc., Prologis Inc., and Voltera.
— Powering America’s Commercial Transportation(PACT) (@PACTCoalition_) January 30, 2024
The coalition is open to all stakeholders who aim to boost charging infrastructure development and accelerate ZEV uptake in the US. These include the following:
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
Infrastructure developers
Electric utilities
Grid operators, etc.
More importantly, PACT’s strategy will focus on educating, advocating, and deploying electric truck charging stations without favoring any particular technology.
“The scale of infrastructure required for medium- and heavy-duty EV adoption is unprecedented. Understanding and coordination across the different stakeholders is imperative to deploy chargers quickly and cost-effectively.”
Stephen Roy, chairman of Volvo Group North America and president of Mack Trucks
Primary objective
The three major electric truck industry players primarily aim to address the numerous challenges that impede wider access to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) charging infrastructures.
It also seeks to improve the national climate policies to meet the evolving needs of M/HD ZEVs regarding public infrastructures.
— Powering America’s Commercial Transportation(PACT) (@PACTCoalition_) January 30, 2024
The press release cited the US’ heavy focus on light-duty passenger vehicles, which do not adhere to the “same unique considerations” as M/HD vehicles. The International Council on Clean Transportation forecasts that the country will need almost 700,000 chargers to support the anticipated one million Class 4-8 M/HD ZEVs by 2030. It will apparently utilize 140,000 megawatts of power daily. Therefore, PACT aims to work on determining and addressing these challenges.
“Commercial vehicle customers require fast, reliable, affordable, and convenient power to effectively deploy ZEV fleets at scale. To enable their success, we must work collaboratively across sectors to deliver an infrastructure that provides access to seamless electricity and meets the commercial transportation industry’s unique needs.”
Mathias Carlbaum, president and CEO of Navistar
Significance
It is worth noting that Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, and Volvo Group North America cumulatively account for about 70% of the US’ new M/HD truck sales.
Therefore, their newly formed coalition will significantly encourage companies to adopt electric trucks and shift away from their gas-powered counterparts without worrying about charging infrastructures and battery range.
It can potentially address the lack of charging infrastructures, which continuously hinders widespread EV uptake.
“Decarbonizing the commercial transportation sector – the fleets that keep America moving – is critical to meeting our nation’s climate goals. But the transition to zero-emission vehicles is stalling without the deployment of the needed charging infrastructure. Through PACT, we aim to accelerate this infrastructure buildout so that fleets can adopt ZEVs at scale and we can all benefit from impactful emissions reductions as quickly as possible.”
John O’Leary, president, and CEO of Daimler Truck North America
Such an initiative is crucial for the US to ensure that its charging infrastructure network can accommodate the expected surge of Class 4-8 M/HD ZEVs to one million units by 2030. All that said, the PACT coalition could be a game changer for more sustainable and efficient transportation.

Volvo introduced the EX30 as its smallest and lowest-cost electric SUV offering in June 2023, even declaring that it is a “cornerstone” of its electrification strategy.
The Volvo EX30 has a base price of just $34,950 (36,000 euros), making it one of the cheapest EVs currently available in the market.
Volvo plans to produce the EX30 at its Ghent factory in Belgium by 2025 in addition to its Chinese facility to accelerate production and meet the increasing demand from European customers.
Volvo already started delivering the EX30 to its first customers in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal in December 2023. According to the Swedish automaker, the commencement of delivery represents a “significant milestone” in its business growth and electrification push.
Volvo also remains confident that the EX30 will advance as “one of your best sellers in the coming years.”
Technical specs
Volvo’s online configurator indicates that the EX30 comes with three powertrain configurations, including the Single Motor, Single Motor Extended Range, and Twin Motor Performance. Presented below are the key specs of the Volvo EX30:

Volvo’s move to launch the EX30 is indeed strategic, considering the growing demand for more affordable EV models in Europe. It can significantly aid the Swedish automaker’s goal to become an all-electric brand by 2030 as it attracts more customers to consider buying from its lineup over other competitors.
