Lovering Volvo in Concord

Each and every new Volvo model already embodies high-tier performance and offers aggressive levels of power. Yet the automaker knows that such exhilarating models don't attract just any old consumer crowd. Like the brand they love, Volvo owners are thrill-seekers and live to push the limit. Therefore, in honor of its power-hungry followers, the automaker is offering up additional ponies.

Sometimes just knowing the automaker you trust is headed in the right direction is enough, even if it releases a model that won't be available here in the United States. This is exactly how Lovering Volvo in Concord feels about the release of the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid. A brainchild of the partnership between Volvo and Swedish energy supplier, Vattenfall, the new hybrid will debut in the European market next year.

Half a decade ago, Volvo started production of the Volvo C70 in Uddevalla, Sweden. As a joint venture between the automaker and Pininfarina S.p.a., the plant has displayed high-quality assembly and retained a team of well-skilled workers. However, in light of recent re-evaluations, Volvo will cease production in Uddevalla in 2013.
