I am writing on behalf of Volvo Cars global CEO Jim Rowan to request a meeting with you during his upcoming visit to Washington, DC on March 25th and 26th.
Volvo Cars is a Swedish company founded and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden since 1927, where our executive management team is based, our design center is located, and where we lead our R&D and product work. This heritage defines our mission as we work with governments and other stakeholders to advance our industry, improve society, and continue to lead in safety and security. Our commitment to safety includes issues related to privacy, cybersecurity and environmental standards of the cars we sell.
Volvo Cars has a diverse regionalized manufacturing footprint, including in the United States. Today, Volvo Cars USA includes corporate headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey employing 450 people; an extensive campus and manufacturing plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina with 2,500 employees; and technical training and parts distribution centers across the country that serve a network of more than 280 retailers in 48 states, supporting 10,000 jobs. This year Volvo Cars is celebrating 70 years in the USA.
Like many companies, Volvo Cars is navigating recent developments in U.S. trade, manufacturing, and technology policies, advancing our own initiatives in these areas, and exploring potential solutions to mitigate impacts on our U.S. workforce and operations. We are committed to our plans for growth and investment in the U.S. and are proud to highlight that we are now building the EX90 at our plant in South Carolina. This facility represents a $1.35 billion investment, underscoring our commitment to the American market.
Mr. Rowan would welcome the opportunity to meet with Secretary Duffy to discuss these developments, provide more details about our latest safety technology advancements and other policy initiatives as we continue to contribute to our local communities and the United States. I appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Katherine Yehl Vice President, Government Affairs, Volvo Cars
