Renault Trucks, the Savior (Cash Cow) of Volvo Group

[kscarbel2]

The high performer of Volvo Group certainly isn’t the Mack brand, a victim of a foreign aggressor who doesn’t understand the American icon's position in life.

Nor is Volvo Group’s namesake brand the highlight of its portfolio.

The star (drum roll here)..........is Renault Trucks.

Continuing to save the day for Volvo Group with stunning results, Renault Trucks’ second quarter sales rose to 13,650 units globally, and 12,304 in Europe, rising 12 percent and 23 percent respective compared with the same period last year.
