Volvo Switzerland registered a total of 4048 vehicles, an increase of over eight percent compared to the same period last year. The number of new customer contracts for a total of 4,800 vehicles rose even more sharply in the first six months, an increase of 27 percent compared with the previous year.

Following the current sales trend, we will also clearly exceed the 7497 new registrations from 2017 by the end of the year. It is now apparent that our completely restructured model range is being very well received by Swiss customers."
