Volvo Cars rapporteerde in het derde kwartaal van 2026 een wereldwijde verkoop van 141.609 auto\u2019s, een daling van 10,7% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar. De verkoopcijfers in dit kwartaal werden be\u00efnvloed door een verdere verslechtering van de marktomstandigheden in China, waar de verkoopcijfers in de sector onder aanzienlijke druk bleven staan, en door een trager dan verwacht herstel in de VS.<\/p>\n

Als gevolg hiervan heeft Volvo Cars bekendgemaakt dat het zijn prognose voor 2026 niet handhaaft: \u201cEen steeds uitdagender wordende marktsituatie en verslechterende marktvooruitzichten voor de korte termijn hebben geleid tot een lager dan verwachte omzet en zwakkere vooruitzichten voor het volledige jaar voor Volvo Cars. Daarom zal Volvo Cars de eerdere prognoses voor het volledige jaar 2026 met betrekking tot volume en kasstroom niet halen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problemen in China en de VS.<\/h4>\n

\u201cDe marktdaling in China vertoonde geen tekenen van verbetering, en het herstel in het Amerikaanse premiumsegment bleef achter bij onze eerdere verwachtingen,\u201d aldus Erik Severinson, Chief Commercial Officer bij Volvo Cars. \u201cDit had gevolgen voor onze omzet in het derde kwartaal, en dezelfde uitdagende marktomstandigheden hebben externe analisten ertoe aangezet hun omzetprognoses voor de markt voor premiumauto\u2019s voor 2026 naar beneden bij te stellen.\u201d<\/p>\n

In de regio Groot-China bedroeg het aantal leveringen 20.284 auto\u2019s, een daling van 40,6% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar. De verkoop werd be\u00efnvloed door toenemende concurrentie- en prijsdruk van lokale fabrikanten, evenals door het gematigde macro-economische klimaat. De markt voor premiumauto's in China bleef onder druk staan, met een scherpe daling van de verkoopcijfers met dubbele cijfers.<\/p>\n

In Noord- en Zuid-Amerika daalde de verkoop met 14% tot 30.777 auto\u2019s. Deze daling was het gevolg van het aanhoudend zwakke consumentenvertrouwen, de toenemende concurrentiedruk in het SUV-segment en een hoog vergelijkingscijfer ten opzichte van vorig jaar, toen de verkoop van elektrische auto\u2019s steeg v\u00f3\u00f3r het aflopen van de consumentensubsidies. De verkoop werd ook be\u00efnvloed door het trage herstel van de vraag naar volledig elektrische en plug-in hybride auto\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Europa blijft veerkrachtig<\/h4>\n

Ondertussen bleven de resultaten in Europa stabiel, dankzij de sterke vraag naar en orderinstroom van volledig elektrische auto\u2019s. De verkoop van volledig elektrische modellen door het bedrijf steeg met 29% en was goed voor 32% van alle verkochte auto's. De verkoop van ge\u00eblektrificeerde modellen, waaronder volledig elektrische en plug-in hybride auto's, vertegenwoordigde 53% van alle auto's die tijdens het kwartaal werden verkocht.<\/del><\/s><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Europa zien we nog steeds een sterke vraag naar onze nieuwe auto\u2019s, met name de EX60 en onze onlangs gelanceerde plug-in-hybriden met een groot bereik,\u201d aldus Erik Severinson. \u201cWe richten ons nu op het opvoeren van de productie van de EX60 en het opstarten van de productie van de nieuwe plug-in-hybriden met een groot bereik.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Europa en de rest van de wereld (RoW) bleven de leveringen aan de detailhandel stabiel, met een verkoop van 90.548 auto\u2019s, een stijging van 2% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Dit werd gedreven door een stijging van 51% in de verkoop van volledig elektrische auto\u2019s. In totaal steeg de verkoop van ge\u00eblektrificeerde modellen met 12% en was deze goed voor 64% van alle auto's die in de regio werden verkocht.<\/p>\n

Geen weersvoorspelling<\/h4>\n

Als gevolg van de toegenomen onzekerheid op de markt heeft Volvo Cars tevens besloten geen bijgewerkte verklaring over de vooruitzichten op korte termijn te verstrekken.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolvo Cars neemt verdere doortastende maatregelen om de uitvoering van onze strategische routekaart in deze uitdagende omgeving te verbeteren en te versnellen, en zal hierover meer details bekendmaken bij de bekendmaking van de financi\u00eble resultaten over het derde kwartaal op 23 oktober\u201d, aldus het bedrijf.<\/p>\n

\u201cHet schrappen van toekomstgerichte uitspraken op korte termijn heeft geen invloed op de strategische ambities voor de lange termijn die tijdens de onlangs gehouden Strategy Update zijn uiteengezet, namelijk het realiseren van sterke positieve kasstromen en het structureel opbouwen van een onderneming met een EBIT-marge van 8%,\u201d voegde Volvo Cars eraan toe.<\/p>\n

Stefan Fesser weer terug in Gent<\/h4>\n

Vorige maand heeft Volvo de twijfels weggenomen die rond zijn productielocatie in Gent hingen. Ondanks de ingebruikname van de volledig nieuwe fabriek in Ko\u0161ice (Slowakije) verwacht Volvo dat er in Gent voldoende productievolume overblijft om de fabriek draaiende te houden. In de toekomst zouden er in Gent dan ook auto\u2019s van andere merken uit de Geely-holding kunnen worden geproduceerd.<\/p>\n

Afgelopen vrijdag maakte Volvo bekend dat Magnus Nilsson, die sinds het begin van het jaar leiding geeft aan de fabriek, is teruggeroepen naar G\u00f6teborg en is aangesteld om de wereldwijde productie van Volvo te leiden.<\/p>\n

In zijn plaats keert een oude bekende terug. Van 2018 tot 2025 was Stefan Fesser CEO van Volvo Gent, waar hij de EX40, EC40 en EX30 introduceerde. In die periode heeft de fabriek ook de assemblage van accu\u2019s in haar activiteiten ge\u00efntegreerd.<\/p>\n

Fesser begint nu aan zijn tweede ambtstermijn in Gent en krijgt de taak om van de Volvo-vestiging een productielocatie voor meerdere merken binnen de Volvo-organisatie te maken. De afgelopen maanden maakte Fesser ook deel uit van de werkgroep die met de federale en Vlaamse overheid overlegde over de toekomst van Volvo Car Gent.<\/p>\n
