[Stockholm 4th Reuters]–Swedish car maker Volvo Car announced on the 4th that June sales fell 27% year-on-year. The lockdown to prevent corona infections in China caused a shortage of electric vehicle (EV) parts, which had an impact on the production of EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Since then, the production situation has been improving significantly, and the production volume in June was the highest this year. Nevertheless, the ratio of EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles to the total delivery will continue to be affected in the July-September quarter, he said.
