People need to understand that 1. It’s chaotic EVERY time any car company starts to produce a new car. Engineers, managers, quality people and so on wants to have a look and explain to the assemblers how to build. 2. This is an entirely new platform for the Gent factory. This is the first step away feom the EuCD platform to CMA. God, if people would have seen the first Xc90 in Torslanda. THAT was chaos.

you mean commie chinese? you didnt know they own this brand? commies are going to copy all the technologies into their no name brands & probably throw volvo back into the market to recoup their money. you must be a s*cker to buy one

З усіх обзорів зборки на різних заводах які я бачив VOLVO єдина зняла реальний робочий процес з усіма стуками , грюками , розмовами , десь там радіо чути ) Браво !!!!! в інших якась супер мега ідеальна зйомка , фонова музика накладена програмою , суцільний пафос ,

Something about this makes me happy. I think it's that I like seeing humans come together to learn and work as a team to make a complex machine, and a great vehicle. I like seeing human achievement.

this is just the start of the production, thats why you can see a lot of people. take it easy haters, after 1 months its gonna be a normal production :)

I love how some people on here, who have absolutely no idea of how a car is made, can comment on the production of a car. I'm sure Mercedes or Audi are the epitome of German Efficiency. The reality is, they're all very similar.

Does anyone know whats the release date on this one in USA?

Ahh, i see below it is a factor in Ghent. I see Nedcar switched production to BMW. You learn something every day.

Will be available with the 315Hp 4 cylinder engine with turbo and supercharged i pray?? 😎😎

I'm guessing this is trial production run. It looks like there are more supervisors and engineers than actual line workers. Plus too many people not mutilation free working around the vehicle. I'm amazed they are allowed to wear shorts and no PPE.

I am a bit surprised that Ghent seems to have so little in the way of rolling floors. I have worked on an assembly line without rolling floor and it was workable, but we built 52 cars *a day* so the skids moved pretty slowly. Cars turned out great, I had a cycle time of 14 minutes at some stations, but it of course wasn't economically feasible.

Where is the assembly line located? Looks fantastic!

This must have been the very first XC 40 because it was really unorganized assembly line. It was mooving too fast for most and the paint had lot's of orange peel. I think I would wait a bit.

I WAS HERE TO SEE IF THEY BUILD A 240 :(

After watching, I give up the ideal to switch my mercedes E class for a Volvo. It look not so organize but at least it's not made in china.

This video is a bunch of out-of-order, random shots. It should have been filmed/edited from start to finish.

This clip shows only people around the car, not how the is produced!!!!

吵死。

Get ready to service every month, this one is fresh in the game like new XC90 that you can see most of them in the service... true story sold my Volvo S60 R-design D4, because of too many mechanic problems from engine, gearbox and also crunch problems in the console, never again. Volvo killed my brand image. Stop being a less Premium more Chinese. Service foreman told me that first production lines generally suffer problems, so wait and buy the 2nd generation if you dont believe me research the volvo technical journals.
