Volvo Cars CEO Håkan Samuelsson to step down this spring

He made a somewhat unexpected comeback as CEO in the spring of 2025 when the board was not satisfied with his predecessor.

But the contract was only for two years, and it will not be extended, he says now. He is 75 years old.

"I have expected to stay until the contract expires in April," he tells TT.

First, a new CEO must be found. And Samuelsson expects his successor to be appointed in the near future, before the end of the year.
