Volvo's sales in the first half of the year China sales increased 81% year-on-year

In recent developments, Ke Lishi, the CEO of Volvo China, shared insights into the company's performance in the first half of 2007. From January to June this year, Volvo's sales in China surged by 81% compared to the same period last year. Notably, the domestic sales of the S40 model have shown a steady upward trend since 2007. Looking ahead, Volvo Car China is set to roll out a new brand and market strategy, supported by its Swedish headquarters. The company plans to introduce more products to the Chinese market in the second half of the year, aiming to further strengthen its presence. Over the past two years, Volvo has experienced rapid growth in the Chinese market, with an overall annual growth rate consistently exceeding 50%. In the first quarter of this year alone, sales in China rose by another 61%, indicating strong momentum that continues into the second half of the year. In March of this year, Volvo appointed Ke Lishi as the Chief Executive Officer for China, reporting directly to the global headquarters. This move highlights the growing importance of the Chinese market within Volvo’s global strategy. Looking ahead, Ke Lishi revealed that two new models, the C30 and the XC90 sports vehicle, will be launched in China later this year. Currently, Volvo offers a range of models in China, including the S40, the new S80, the new C70, and the new XC90. These models span luxury cars, hardtop convertibles, and premium SUVs, catering to a diverse customer base. Meanwhile, Chrysler is facing financial challenges as it attempts to raise $20 billion through bond offerings. According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal is at a critical stage, with underwriters considering the possibility of absorbing a large portion of the financing themselves due to low investor demand. This situation has drawn attention from Detroit, where major automakers and suppliers are also seeking affordable loans and bond issues as part of their restructuring efforts. On the other side of the industry, SAIC and Nanjing Automobile Group announced a strategic partnership, marking a significant step towards building a large automotive industry in the Yangtze River Delta region. The collaboration involves asset reorganization and comprehensive cooperation across vehicles, parts, and services, aiming for full integration between the two companies. SAIC, ranked 402nd in the latest Fortune Global 500 list, sold 1.34 million vehicles in 2006, making it the top domestic automaker. Nanjing Automobile Group, known for its comprehensive R&D and manufacturing capabilities, especially in commercial vehicles, is expected to play a key role in the partnership. In Beijing, the second "China Used Car International Forum" was held on July 27. Organized by several key industry bodies, the event focused on the development of branded used cars in China. Discussions centered on how these vehicles can enhance market transparency, consumer choice, and industry standards. Despite growing interest, branded used cars still face challenges such as low awareness and high operational costs. The forum addressed strategies to overcome these obstacles and promote sustainable growth. A launch ceremony for the "Used Car Brand Promotion Campaign" took place during the event, alongside professional training sessions for dealers to improve industry practices.
