Do You Agree With Volvo Exec That China Now Makes Better Quality Cars Than Europ by obafemee80(m): 6:38am On May 18, 2018


It's a common belief that China-made products such as electronics and cars don't have the build quality when compared to those from Europe or the U.S.

But according to Robin Paige,the British-born senior vice-president of design at Volvo Cars, that notion is totally false. He told Go Auto

"Everyone was worried about quality, but as soon as they started , the quality was even higher on score than in Europe,"

He said the major difference was attributed to the greater automation or robots in manufacturing at European factories.

Instead ,the Chinese plants use more human labor which allows them to achieve tighter tolerances and the ability to make changes to the production process more quickly.

He also said
“It’s not a massive difference but if you do scores-to-scores and averages, China’s pretty damn good, so we’re not so worried about that now".

Volvo now has more of its china built cars being exported to the United States and Europe markets ever since it was purchased by Geely in 2009.

Volvo is not the only car manufacturer moving to China. Ford Focus in the U.S and BMW's upcoming iX3 will made in China too.

I think the Volvo boss was right in terms of automation because ,Elon Musk (Tesla boss) was forced to bring in humans after robots slowed down the production of Tesla Model 3.

But do you agree that the present and new generation of Chinese-made cars are better in quality compared to Europe's?

Quality is not country specific, what differentiate Quality is raw material used, process utilized and technical know how.

if you have all 3 and you don't compromise, you can stay ontop.

innoson too can start making Quality cars if all necessary tools are available

This is absolutely true, but u will still see many ignorant people here tell u the Volvo vice president is lying,

Fact is China is so good now, they can make virtually any product in different qualities, tell them u need the lowest quality, they will make it, tell them u need the best quality ever made in history, they will also make it. Things are even changing now as China seeks to be the number 1 power house, their exports abroad are now quality products. most big companies in Europe and America now have their biggest plants in china, because the Chinese people now have more technological expertise.

So its best ignorant folks stop tagging Chinese products as fake and start going after the Nigerian importers who go to China to ask for the lowest quality products shipping them to Naija.
