(President and CEO Volvo Cars)
After the commercial launch of the new Volvo C70, how are the sales in the different regions?
There has been a huge interest in the all-new Volvo C70. We have received extremely positive media coverage all over the world. As a result we have sold out the model year 2006.
The majority of the sales of the C70 have so far been to the US, UK, Germany, Italy and Sweden.
The C70 is manufactured in Uddevalla factory which is operated by a company jointly owned by Volvo Cars and Pininfarina S.p.A.. What are the particularities of this collaboration?
Volvo Cars gave Pininfarina S.p.A the task of constructing a foldable steel roof to our new C70 convertible. At the same time Pininfarina Sverige AB was created to manufacture the cars in the Uddevalla plant. Pininfarina S.p.A owns 60 percent and Volvo Cars 40 percent of Pininfarina Sverige AB.
What are the particular targets that you would like to achieve this year?
Our main challenge this year is to secure a flawless delivery of the C70 cars to our customers.
