Dear Media Friends and Colleagues,
The rapid effects of COVID-19 have impacted all levels of the industry, including Volvo Cars.
You may have learned that we temporarily closed some of our plants to protect our workforce and our business, while much of our corporate teams are working from home.
We want you to know your Volvo Car USA Corporate Communication team is still on the job, ready to help provide the information, assets and executive access you need to do your job.
You can also visit our online Newsroom to read the latest news, download photos and video, and sign up for alerts that will keep you abreast of all the latest developments.
When it comes to the press fleet, we realize how important it is for you to have a steady flow of new cars to evaluate.
In these extraordinary times, however, we must temporarily change the way we schedule loans.
Rather than proactive scheduling, we ask you request a press car by sending an e-mail to your local Drive Shop office with the name of your outlet, preferred model, when you need the car and for how long, and a brief editorial plan. NEMPA members in New England should send requests to Drivers@jslautomotion.com.
Please also cc our fleet manager, Tyler Salomon, at tyler.salomon@volvocars.com
We will review all requests and fulfill as many as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
On behalf of everyone at Volvo Cars, be safe.
