Volvo Car Gent NV operates Volvo Cars' Belgian assembly plant (Ghent), one of the group's two main European electrified-vehicle plants alongside Torslanda (Sweden).
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 2 suppliers. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
Source says EX40/EC40 use NMC cells from LG Chem and CATL (prismatic) depending on market; long-term CATL/LG Chem supply deal with Volvo Car Group (CMA and SPA2 platforms) announced 2019. Re-checked 2026-09-24: the page does NOT say CATL supplies LFP cells for the base EX30 (prior note claimed so; removed) and does not mention Ghent, so the Ghent-specific link is inferred from Ghent building EX40/EC40. Trade-press sourced; Volvo's own newsroom returned 403 to automated fetch.
Source names LG Chem NMC cells for EX40/EC40 depending on market (no market split given; prior note's 'rest-of-world' split removed as unsupported). Long-term supply deal with Volvo Car Group announced 2019 (Volvo Cars press release of May 2019, https://www.volvocars.com/intl/media/press-releases/56DCB4983D311FE3/, which also names the Ghent battery assembly line). Does not mention Ghent; link inferred. Confidence: secondary.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
Every exposure is read as a buyer dependency; the top 3 are its binding chokepoints. If this company actually produces one of these materials rather than buying it, that would be misclassified here — no producer-classifier entry exists for 5 of them.
Dossier discloses a dysprosium, terbium or samarium material exposure directly — A61 §1(2) names Dy/Tb-containing NdFeB and SmCo magnets by element.
A61's suspension (Announcement 70) lapses 10 Nov 2026 — on the plain text, controls revive automatically. The US DoD CN/RU/IR/KP sourcing bar follows 1 Jan 2027. See the underlying extraterritorial export-control action. We supply the provenance file; we never compute your ratio for you.
As a buyer, policy pressure across its consumed materials is rising.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
No actions in the register have named or swept this company in the last 24 months.
