Volvo, after the transition to the Chinese owner under the name Geely, demonstrates amazing results: in 2017, TM made a profit. You understand that we are not talking about all Volvo as a Swedish corporation, but about its passenger unit, which in America rightly called Volvo Cars. New models appeared, the company managed to finish its long -awaited CHC90 crossover, which promises to be just a bomb. In general, things went.
I never doubted that the Chinese from the successful TM jili will bring the control of Volvo Kars to mind. There were many questions from the methods of restoring order, but this is more likely to other sectors of life than the Avtodelo. It is clear today that in five years of Chinese economy in the Swedish car dealer, things are going on very well. Today you will understand how much everything has improved there. Please note that Ford in 1999 bought a Volvo passenger unit for 6.5 billion. US dollars. The Chinese, on the other hand, was resold in 2016 for only 1.8. Total American management and methods of doing business completely failed — which is confirmed by the departure of DM from the Russian Federation completely, and partially from Europe.
In March 2016, it became known that Volvo will build a plant in the USA. How do you like this message? Yesterday the company was bankrupt and was in deep depression. And today the plant is building in the cradle of the global auto industry — understand this term as a description of the place where the largest market of the planet is located. Isn’t it impudent?
Today, cars from TM Volvo are collected in Europe and China. The current management of the company believes that it is necessary to get the site on the American continent in order to completely cover all the road markets of the planet. T. e. In marketing, Volvo see prospects for sales and in both Americas. Let’s say they are ambitious there.
Clear business that TM is a name. It is clear that there are fans. But whether they are enough for the profitability of the American unit to be positive?! Apparently, calculations gave a positive answer to the question posed. By the way, investments are such as considerable — 500 million. dollars. So the management of Volvo has no right to be mistaken.
To understand the situation, it should be noted that in 2017, global sales of Volvo grew by 9% and amounted to more than 450,000 pieces. The indicator is impressive, it is he in my opinion that is key when making a decision on the construction of a new plant. After all, if buyers are available, then you just need to reduce costs. And you can do this only when assembling on the spot. So residents of both Americas should expect a decrease in the cost of a car from Volvo. After the launch of the assembly plant.
