\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVolvo<\/a> confirmed plans to bring the small EV to India back in July 2024 with the SUV expected to be joined by Volvo\u2019s flagship EX90<\/a> at a later date.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe EX30<\/a> is Volvo\u2019s smallest new-gen electric vehicle in global markets and is due to arrive in India by the end of 2025. The Volvo EX30<\/a> will be placed below the XC40 Recharge and will be the third model in Volvo’s electric plans in India.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Volvo EX30 is based on the Geely SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform that\u2019s developed to spawn a range of subcompact electric car models across the group\u2019s brands.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe EX30 has a design identity similar to that of the EX90<\/a>, which was unveiled last year. It features a blanked-off grille with a Volvo badge, Thor’s hammer-inspired LED headlights, and a blacked-out front bumper at the front.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMoreover, Volvo<\/a> might consider local assembly (CKD route) to ensure the EX30 remains accessible to Indian consumers. Volvo started completely knocked down (CKD) operations in 2017. The Volvo cars are assembled at the company’s Hoskote plant near Bengaluru, Karnataka.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Volvo EX30 has lowest carbon footprint among its EV lineup<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe upcoming EX30<\/a> electric SUV possesses the smallest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo car to date. According to Volvo\u2019s life cycle assessment (LCA), it has a total carbon footprint of 23 tonnes per 200,000 km which is approximately 60 percent less than the petrol-powered XC40<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe carbon footprint report identifies the key contributing materials and processes to the car\u2019s emissions, Volvo said. Exclusively focused on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the report covers the car\u2019s lifecycle, starting with the extraction and refining of raw materials and ending with the car\u2019s end-of-life.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccording to Volvo, the proportion of recycled materials in the EX30 is the highest of any Volvo car so far. Around one-quarter of the aluminum and almost one-fifth of the steel is recycled material. In addition, around 17% of all plastics within the car, from interior components to exterior bumpers, are made from recycled material.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Volvo\u2019s EV plan and expansion in India<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVolvo<\/a> is one of the few major automotive OEMs which has been very vocal about the need to transition into battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs). The Swedish carmaker is focussed on becoming a fully-electric brand by the end of this decade.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMoreover, Volvo has also confirmed that the EX90<\/a> will follow the EX30<\/a> in the Indian market. Persson elaborated on Volvo\u2019s strategy, stating, \u201cWe have a very clear strategy to launch one new BEV product every year. The next two are SUVs, but further down the line, there could be other body types.\u201d He also projected faster growth for the Indian market compared to the rest of the region, predicting quicker electrification in the premium segment over the mass market.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVolvo Cars India aims to cater to the luxury segment, where EV penetration is higher. Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director of Volvo Car India, highlighted the company\u2019s 22-23% share in the luxury EV market, which is expected to grow with new model introductions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Swedish carmaker is also evaluating the potential for plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) as transitional products towards full electrification, considering government taxation policies on hybrids.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
