Operating profit came in at SEK 13.5 billion for the second quarter. This compares with a profit of SEK 10.0 billion in the corresponding quarter last year.
A very strong quarter for the Volvo Group, not least given the circumstances in the world with both a lot of concern and uncertain factors, says Martin Lundstedt to TT.
Turnover rose to SEK 126.3 billion, compared with SEK 122.9 billion a year earlier.
Truck orders rose sharply, to 63,412 from 47,761 trucks in the second quarter of last year. Truck deliveries rose to 55,687 from 52,764 trucks.
North America remains the strongest market for the truck giant, and orders rose by 122 percent to 18,302 trucks. But the European market is catching up.
- We are also revising the market forecasts for Europe, says Martin Lundstedt.
