It has not ended there for Volvo however as continuing this sales momentum, globally Volvo’s sales have increased by 40.8 percent in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year.
It is the carmaker’s sales in China that have seen the biggest increase with a staggering 45,242 cars sold in the country in the first three months of 2021 compared to 20,780 in the first quarter of 2020 – which is an increase of 117.7 percent.
