Torslanda production was supported by operations in Canada at Volvo Halifax Assembly and Volvo Kalmar Assembly and later with plants in North America (Chesapeake, Virginia), and later Ghent, Belgium.
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.

This was mainly due to the plants' trademark team system that assembled the entire vehicle at one station, which was extensively used later at Volvo Torslanda Assembly and then Volvo Kalmar Assembly.
