During the Capital Market Update, Volvo Cars’ leadership provided more granularity on the Volvo EX30’s contribution to the company’s growth and profitability ambitions. Volvo Cars executives elaborated on how the Volvo EX30, one of the company’s most significant business opportunities in the coming years, will serve as a building block for the company’s strategic transformation.

It also talked about the transformed sales process, which will result in an improved customer experience by seamlessly merging online and offline channels, and its implications for the company.
Finally, Volvo Cars described the journey towards its mid-decade ambition of reaching an operating profit margin of 8-10 per cent.
