New organisation for Volvo Trucks
The Volvo Group's new truck organisation will sharpen the focus of its truck business by
breaking down the marketing and sales responsibility for the Group's truck brands into
three geographic areas. However, brands and product strategies will still be managed at
a global level. At the beginning of 2012, Claes Nilsson, formerly President Europe
Division, took over responsibility for the Group's largest truck brand, Volvo Trucks.
The aim of restructuring the business into three coherent sales and marketing regions Americas (North and South America), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and
APAC (Asia Pacific) - is to create an organisation which can meet its customers' needs
more effectively and better exploit the commercial potential of the Group's different truck
brands.
At the start of the year, Claes Nilsson became President Volvo Trucks EMEA Sales &
Global Brand, with operational sales and marketing responsibility for the EMEA region.
The position also involves responsibility for managing the global product strategy and
developing the Volvo Trucks brand.
"I think that our new structure offers us significant opportunities. The strategy for Volvo
Trucks has been in place for some time and is very much still valid. We will continue to
develop Volvo Trucks' unique qualities and supply trucks which meet our customers'
high standards and expectations," says Claes Nilsson.
The organisational changes came into effect at the start of the year. The new management
team will continue to take a highly customer focused approach and will also be investing
in expanding the service and aftermarket network.
"We already have more than 2300 dealers and workshops all over the world and this
figure will grow. Our relationship with our customers plays a central role and our
business goes much further than just selling trucks. This is only the beginning of what we
do. For us it is all about offering our customers effective transport solutions with
guaranteed quality, safety and the greatest possible care for the environment.
