Changes to Volvo’s Group Executive Board and truck organization with clearer commercial accountability

The Volvo Group is introducing a brand-based organization with clearer
commercial accountability for the Group’s various truck brands. Four separate
units will be created: Volvo Trucks, UD Trucks, Renault Trucks and Mack Trucks,
each with profit and loss responsibility for their respective business. Volvo’s
Group Executive Board will be changed to include representatives from some of
the Group’s business areas.
“This is an important change in how we conduct our truck business, with an
expanded mandate for our sales organizations to control and develop their
businesses with an explicit responsibility for profitability and organic
growth,” says Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO of Volvo. “We will gain a
simpler organization in which decisions are made more quickly and in closer
cooperation with the customer, while each truck brand will be represented on the
Group Executive Board with shared responsibility for optimizing Volvo Group’s
overall truck business.”

After several years of growth through acquisitions, followed by major
restructuring programs and cost savings, the Volvo Group is now gradually
entering a new phase with more intense customer focus and focus on organic
growth and improved profitability.

“The efforts in recent years to realize synergies between our various brands
have yielded results and created the possibility to now make the Volvo Group the
most desired transport solution provider in the world,” says Martin Lundstedt.
“The goal of the new governance model is for all of the Group’s business areas
to be driven along the same distinct business principles, whereby each area can
follow and optimize its own earnings performance in both the short and long
term.”

The Group’s technology and product development organization and production
organization for trucks will remain responsible for common development and
production. In addition specific resources will be allocated to each brand. At
the same time, purchasing for the truck operation will form a separate unit and
will join the Group Executive Board. These organizational changes will not have
any planned effect on the number of employees in the Group.

The new organization will come into effect on March 1, 2016, when the Volvo
Group will comprise ten business areas:

Volvo Trucks, UD Trucks, Mack Trucks, Renault Trucks, Value Truck & JV:s, Volvo
Construction Equipment, Volvo Buses, Volvo Penta, Governmental Sales and Volvo
Financial Services.

From March 1, 2016, Volvo’s Group Executive Board will comprise the following
members:

Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO
Jan Gurander, Deputy CEO and CFO
Claes Nilsson, Volvo Trucks
Joachim Rosenberg, UD Trucks
Bruno Blin, Renault Trucks
Dennis Slagle, Mack Trucks
Martin Weissburg, Volvo CE
Torbjörn Holmström, Group Trucks Technology
Mikael Bratt, Group Trucks Operations
