The Volvo Halifax Assembly Plant located in Halifax, Nova Scotia was opened on 11 June 1963 by Prince Bertil. It was the second assembly plant Volvo opened outside of Sweden and the second non-domestic auto plant in North America after Rolls Royce. Volvo decided to open to the plant to bypass hefty North American import tariffs on foreign goods and to capitalize on the newly signed Canadian/American Auto Pact. The plant was operated by Volvo Canada Limited (now Volvo Cars of Canada Corporation) in Toronto, Ontario, and bridged the gap between Volvo of North America (Rockleigh, New Jersey), Volvo headquarters and the flagship Torslanda plant in Gothenburg.

  • L'usine Volvo de Halifax, située à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Écosse, a été inaugurée le 11 juin 1963 par le prince Bertil. Il s'agissait de la deuxième usine de montage que Volvo ouvrait à l'extérieur de la Suède et de la deuxième usine automobile non nationale en Amérique du Nord, après Rolls-Royce. Volvo a décidé d'ouvrir cette usine afin de contourner les droits de douane élevés imposés par l'Amérique du Nord sur les produits étrangers et de tirer parti du nouveau pacte de l'automobile entre le Canada et les États-Unis. L'usine était exploitée par Volvo Canada Limited (aujourd'hui Volvo Cars of Canada Corporation) à Toronto, en Ontario, et faisait le pont entre Volvo of North America (Rockleigh, New Jersey), le siège social de Volvo, et l'usine phare de Torslanda à Göteborg.

  • Volvoverken i Halifax var en monteringsanläggning i Halifax, Nova Scotia i Kanada som öppnades 1963 och var länge den enda monteringsanläggning Volvo haft i Nordamerika, tills man 2015 bestämde sig för att bygga en ny fabrik i South Carolina. Anläggningen byggdes för att minska fraktkostnaderna och överbrygga klyftan mellan Nordamerika och Volvos huvudkontor och största fabrik (Torslandaverken) i Göteborg. 1998 beslutade Volvo att stänga sin monteringsanläggning i Halifax och den sista bilen rullade av bandet under våren 1997.[källa behövs] Fabriken hade cirka 225 anställda vid nedläggningen.
