Expanding network as Volvo gears up for local production

Volvo's dealer network will soon serve more small Chinese cities and the carmaker will strive to help dealers quickly earn back their investment, said Fu Qiang, president and CEO of Volvo China Sales Co.

Fu made the remarks as the automaker announced its new sales strategy on Oct 31 in Beijing.

The plan calls for a diverse range of dealers, cost efficiency in operations and an improved dealer image through new approaches to cooperation among the manufacturer, dealers and investors, said Fu.
