As the creation and innovation hub of Volvo Cars in Asia-Pacific area, the design center will be responsible for projects such as concept cars and remodels, and will be seamlessly connected with the design team based in Gothenburg, Sweden through advanced digital technology. It will be put into use in March 2022.

The design center will also support full-scale interior and exterior interactive design, and Volvo Cars' operations in all over the world, Disley added.
