CEO Comment

”We are in the most intense period of investment and transformation in our history.”

I am pleased to report that in 2015 we sold more than half a million cars for the first time in the company’s history. At the same time we trebled the profit to MSEK 6,620. Now, with a successful 2015 behind us, Volvo Cars is about to enter the second phase of its global transformation. Once completed, the company will take its place as a truly premium car company in all segments.
