- Market conditions during the first half of the year were challenging, according to Volvo Cars' CEO Håkan Samuelsson.

In a comment to the interim report, Håkan Samuelsson writes:

“I am convinced that we are well positioned for a strong recovery in the market during the second half of the year. If the market recovers as we expect, we expect sales volumes to return to the levels we saw in the second half of 2019 and it is our ambition to achieve the same profit levels and cash flow. ”
