Welcome to Volvo Group

Andrea Fuder, Chief Purchasing Officer and a member of the Volvo Group Executive Board since 2017, has tragically passed away following a short illness. Andrea led the global purchasing team and its ecosystem of supply partners through one of the most significant transformations the industry has ever seen, including navigating the pandemic, supply shortages,  and an increasing volatile geopolitical landscape. She was instrumental in driving the Volvo Group transition towards more sustainable transport solutions.

The Assar Gabrielsson Foundation has awarded Marcus Borenäs as the winner in the basic science research category and Elizabeth Schepke as the winner in the clinical research category. The prize recipients are rewarded with SEK 100,000 each as extra research grants, administered by the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg.

The number of votes in AB Volvo has changed due to the conversion of a total of 12,864 Series A shares to a total of 12,864 Series B shares. The conversions were implemented with the support of the opportunity for Series A shareholders to request conversion of Series A shares to Series B shares which was entered in the Articles of Association at the 2011 Annual General Meeting.

“In Q1, the Volvo Group’s net sales declined by 7% adjusted for currency movements and amounted to SEK 121.8 billion (131.2). Sales of vehicles were 9% lower than in Q1 2024 and as the quarter went by, there was increased uncertainty surrounding tariffs and their effect on global trade. The underlying service business continued to grow supported by good utilization of vehicles and machines in many markets across the world. Adjusted for the divestment of Arquus and currency our service business grew by 2% compared with Q1, 2024, and on a rolling 12-month basis we had service revenues of SEK 129.2 billion. The lower vehicle volumes affected our profitability, but we nonetheless generated an operating income of SEK 13.3 billion (18.2) with a margin of 10.9% (13.8),” says Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO.

The Volvo Group report for the first quarter will be published on April 23, 2025 at 7:20 a.m. CEST.
