Nedcars

Nedcar is a Dutch automobile manufacturing plant located in Born, Limburg, Netherlands. It began as a joint venture between Volvo Car Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors to produce passenger cars in the Netherlands and started operations in the early 1990s. During its early years, the plant produced several Volvo and Mitsubishi models for European markets. In 2012, following financial restructuring, the facility was acquired by VDL Groep and renamed VDL Nedcar.

Since the acquisition, it has operated as a contract manufacturing plant, producing vehicles for various brands under contract and serving as one of the Netherlands' few car assembly plants. Nedcar's role in the European automotive industry has been characterized by its adaptability to shifting demand and model changes, as well as by efforts to maintain employment in the Dutch automotive sector. The plant has undergone modernization to meet evolving environmental and production standards and has pursued collaborations with international automotive groups.

As of the 2020s, VDL Nedcar continues to operate as an assembly facility under the VDL Group, focusing on contract manufacturing and opportunistic production for global clients, while keeping the site as a strategic component of the Dutch automotive industry.
