Volvo Still in the Green, Except in France

With rising sales and a growing electric range, Volvo sees a green future, but France is lagging behind.

Volvo maintains its strong momentum with 71,514 units sold worldwide in June, marking an 8% increase compared to the same period last year. Europe and Latin America play a key role with the fully electric small SUV EX30.

Overall, the entire range of electrified models, whether fully electric or plug-in hybrid, is performing well, with sales up 41% compared to the same period last year. Electrified vehicles represent 48% of total vehicle sales in June. The share of fully electric vehicles reached 26% of all vehicles sold.

In France, registrations reflect the overall hexagonal trend, with a decrease of 5.6% compared to the same month last year. A small consolation, the 10,650 registrations in the first half of 2024 represent a 41.9% increase compared to the first half of 2023. Fully electric models account for 48.8% of the sales made by the brand in France since the beginning of 2024, while hybrid models represent 32.5%. In total, 81.3% of Volvo cars registered in France since the beginning of the year are electrified.
