Volvo Cars sales fall 11% in April as fully electric cars slump
- Volvo Cars experienced an 11% decrease in sales during April 2025, delivering just under 59,000 vehicles worldwide, primarily driven by a steep decline in fully electric car sales.
- The decline follows increasing market pressures from U.S. Tariffs on imports and weakened demand for fully electric vehicles, amid a challenging trade environment.
- Electric car sales fell 32%, accounting for 20% of total sales, while all electrified models, including plug-in hybrids, declined 16% and made up 45% of sales.
- Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson acknowledged that the company is navigating an unprecedentedly tough environment, highlighting efforts to regionalize manufacturing as a key approach to counteract the effects of tariffs.
- The sales drop led to a 3% stock value fall and marks a significant challenge that complicates Volvo's electrification goals and highlights the need to adapt in volatile markets.
