KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The XC60 was the best-selling Volvo model in April, with 14,952 units sold.

    From January to April, Volvo Cars sold a total of 195,445 units, dropping 21.3% from the same period last year.

    COVID-19 lockdowns in eastern China last April disrupted retail deliveries in China and exacerbated already strained global supply chains, causing significant production losses.

    Volvo was advised of a supplier shortage of a certain kind of semiconductor toward the end of the first quarter of the year, which will disrupt production during the second quarter. This is a temporary issue, according to the company, and supply chain constraints relating to semiconductors are expected to improve in the second half of the year.
