Volvo Cars reports sales of 58,677 cars in March, a decline by 22.1 per cent compared with the same month last year. Customer demand remains strong. During the first quarter, the number of cars sold increased gradually to a total of 148,295 cars as the supply chain constraints affecting Volvo Cars and the auto industry continued to slowly ease. However, due to a disturbance related to lack of a specific semi-conductor, Volvo Cars is now experiencing a temporary deviation from that trend which is expected to impact production during the second quarter. In March, sales of Volvo Cars' Recharge models made up 35.5 per cent of all Volvo cars sold globally during the month. Sales of fully electric cars made up 9.0 per cent of total sales. In the first quarter, Recharge sales made up 33.6 per cent of total sales, while fully electric cars made up 7.9 per cent. The number of active subscriptions at the end of March had increased by 174 per cent compared with the same period last year.
