I prossimi modelli Volvo

[Beckervdo]

Volvo costruirà il terzo stabilimento in Europa che sarà situata in Slovacchia. Qui verranno prodotte solo auto elettriche e il luogo sarà climaticamente neutro. Ciò comporta un investimento di circa 1,2 miliardi di euro e il nuovo stabilimento completa gli stabilimenti di Gent (Belgio) nell'Europa occidentale e di Torslanda (Svezia) nel Nord Europa.

Il CEO Jim Rowan afferma:

"Ci concentriamo chiaramente sul diventare un marchio completamente elettrico nella mobilità entro il 2030, il che è in linea con il nostro obiettivo. L'espansione in Europa, la nostra più grande regione di vendita, è fondamentale per il nostro passaggio alle auto elettriche e per la continua crescita. Siamo molto felici di espandere la presenza di produzione di Volvo Car in Slovacchia e non vediamo l'ora di accogliere nuovi colleghi e partner nel viaggio che ci aspetta".

La prima pietra verrà posata l'anno prossimo e la produzione in serie della prossima generazione di auto elettriche Volvo inizierà nello stabilimento nel 2026.

Ed anche Volvo, dopo la defezione di Stellantis avvenuta poche settimane fa, lascia l’Acea.

in Volvo se non rimescolano le sigle almeno una volta a decade non sono contenti

comunque mi pare che semplicemente aggiungeranno il prefisso "E" alle versioni full-E, per il resto bene o male sono le solite solita sigle alfanumeriche che identificano il tipo di carrozzeria e il segmento di appartenenza.

c'è solo la novità della X: forse i SUV normali diverranno solo X mentre quelli "coupé" saranno XC, dato che C già è stata usata in quel senso da Volvo, opure X sarà una nuova categoria di rialzette... vedremo.

Io inizierei a vietare la E nelle denominazione delle elettriche

Ma Volvo non si diceva che avrebbe adottato nomi partendo dalla Embla!?

Modificato 26 Agosto 2022 da MotorPassion

[Auditore]

Spulciando le registrazioni dei nomi ho notato che i nomi tipo Embla o P1800 (per il vintage) sono registrati da "Volvo Car Corporation" mentre le sigle appena citate, da "Volvo Trademark Holding AB". Potrebbe essere che li registrino per paura che qualcuno li usi o magari hanno veramente cambiato idea

Anche Geely con Volvo va verso il metodo del mega casting come Tesla.

 

Volvo megacasting floor structure 2022
Volvo will use megacasting to produce the floor structure in the EVs it will start making at its Torslanda plant in 2025.

 

Volvo Cars has chosen Swiss supplier Bühler to help it transition its biggest, oldest car plant toward a Tesla-utilized technique known as megacasting.
Bühler was founded in 1860 and has been active in die casting for more than 90 years. The family-owned company is based in Uzwil, Switzerland.
Bühler has three business pillars: Grains & Food, Consumer Foods and Advanced Materials. The Advanced Materials unit produces megacasting solutions for automakers and suppliers.
Handtmann, a Germany-based light metal foundry, has invested "a mid-double-digit million amount in megacasting." That includes one of Bühler's die-casting cells.

Volvo has purchased two of Bühler's largest die-casting solutions to produce structural castings for next-generation EVs that will be made in Torslanda, Sweden.

When asked which other companies bid on the contract a Volvo spokesperson said the automakers had talks with "different leading machine manufacturers" before deciding on Bühler.

The field is very limited at the moment. Bühler launched its megacasting products in 2021, while its chief rival, Idra, debuted its solution, which it calls the Giga Press, in 2019.

Idra says it took three years and 1.8 million euros ($1.97 million) to make its Giga Press a reality.

While Idra, a Chinese-owned Italian supplier, is contractually prevented from talking about its customers, Tesla has shown photos of the Giga Presses where Idra's logo is clearly visible.

Those presses are used to cast the front and rear underbodies in a single piece.

The move to megacasting is "the biggest technology shift since we switched from wood to steel" for car bodies, Volvo Solution Architect Vehicle Platform Mikael Fermer told Automotive News Europe last year.

Volvo's head of engineering and operations, Javier Varela, told ANE at the time that megacasting  results in a 75 percent time saving compared with how large aluminum body parts are put together now.

This graphic shows Bühler's Carat 840 die-casting cell for megacasting production. Volvo bought two for its factory in Torslanda, Sweden.

Bühler estimates megacasting reduces complexity in production by enabling between 70 to 100 parts to be replaced by a single die-cast part.

The move to the new technique is part of Volvo's 10 billion crown ($940 billion) investment to prepare Torslanda for the company's transformation into an electric-only brand.

Volvo plans to have Torslanda ready for megacasting by 2025, which coincides with the production start for the first full-electric car at the plant, where Volvo currently makes the Volvo XC90 and XC60 SUVs and V90 station wagon.

"Volvo Cars is among the first carmakers to adopt the megacasting process," Cornel Mendler, managing director of Bühler Die Casting, said.

Mercedes-Benz used the one-part casting method to form the rear of the EQXX concept it debuted at the 2022 CES in Las Vegas, while Chinese automaker Nio is also interested in the technology.
Mercedes engineers used a one-part casting method to form a major aluminum component as the rear of the EQXX concept.

Volvo's Torslanda factory, near Gothenburg, which opened in April 1964, will undergo other changes that include adding a battery assembly plant to integrate battery cells and modules in the floor structure of future EVs.

The production changes are supposed to help extend the range, decrease the charging time and lower the cost of Volvo's next-generation EVs, the automaker said.

Volvo wants half of its global sales -- an estimated 600,000 units -- to be battery powered by 2025 and to be an electric-only brand by 2030. To make the transition Volvo has announced investments in the last few years totaling more than $4 billion.

Idra says it has sold more than 20 Giga Presses since 2019.

Volvo UK taglia dai listini S60/V60 e S90/V90. Il marchio Svedese venderà solo SUV in UK.

Cita

We continue to rapidly transform our product offer, which means not only moving towards full electrification but also shifting to new platforms and technologies across all our cars. We will naturally need to evolve and consolidate our line-up as we prioritize fully electric cars and make this technological transition. As a result, we have removed further models from the UK line-up. These include the S60, V60, and V90. Demand for our existing SUV line-up continues to grow, while interest in our forthcoming fully electric EX30 and EX90 models is strong. Meanwhile, appetite for our saloon and estate models has fallen to very low levels in the UK, which has led to our decision to remove these models from sale in the UK.”
