Volvo Wins U.S. Clearance to Import Cars With Chinese Connected Tech
TL;DR
Volvo Cars won a specific U.S. authorization to continue importing vehicles that use Chinese-developed 'connected technology,' despite Biden-era rules restricting Chinese software in the U.S. market. The approval came after discussions on governance, technology and data security, and supports Volvo’s U.S. growth—including new hybrids built in South Carolina by the end of the decade and XC60 production in SC starting in late 2026—while tariffs previously curtailed Chinese imports.
