Tooling trial production of Polestar 2 on schedule at Luqiao plant

Polestar, highlights its transition from brand idea to operational OEM with tooling trial production of Polestar 2 on schedule at the Luqiao factory in China, in preparation for customer deliveries in 2020.

This second prototype phase is designed to prove vehicle integrity and process quality to ensure customer vehicles delivered in 2020 match Polestar's exacting standards.

Also in China, Polestar 1 customer cars are rolling off the production line at the Chengdu facility which was inaugurated in August 2019. Designed by internationally renowned architecture and design company, Snohetta, the facility continues to develop.

The next milestone in Polestar's journey is the opening of a test track within the grounds of the factory. Dedicated to vehicle development and quality assurance, the track reduces the amount of transport required for vehicle assessment. This step to diminish the associated environmental footprint is another part of the brand's promise to accelerate the shift to sustainable mobility across the industry.

In line with the brand's digital-first retail model, orders for the Polestar 1 and reservations for the Polestar 2 are being taken at Polestar.com for selected countries. Prospective Polestar 2 buyers in selected markets can already reserve their place in the queue and guarantee 2020 delivery with a fully refundable deposit.
