Volvo Cars Reports Global Sales of 51,286 in February
Volvo Cars reported sales of 51,286 cars in February, up 22 per cent compared to the same month last year and a record for February. The company’s Recharge lineup of fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars led the sales growth.
Sales of Volvo Cars’ Recharge models comprised 40 per cent of all Volvo cars sold globally during the month. The company’s fully electric car sales increased by 187 per cent compared with the same month last year and comprised 19 per cent of the total sales in February.
The US reported a solid performance, with sales 38 per cent higher than in February last year, with 8,560 cars sold. The increase was led by Volvo’s SUV range but also due to sales in February previous year being negatively affected by lower production due to supply chain constraints. The share of Recharge cars reached 29 per cent during the month.
China sales reached 13,066 cars, up 50 per cent compared with February last year. The strong growth was partially due to the timing of the Lunar New Year, which affected sales in February 2022. Recharge models accounted for 9 per cent of the total sales for the month.
European sales for February reached 21,278 cars, up 9 per cent compared to last year. The share of Recharge cars reached 64 per cent.
