Volvo Car restructuring in North America

Volvo Car restructuring in North America

Michael Cottone will head Volvo Car  in the United States and Canada, taking over for Volvo Car USA CEO Anders Gustafsson (pictured) who will be leaving his post in March 2023.

This is according to Automotive News, reporting that it is part of the Swedish automaker’s plan to be an all-electric brand by 2030.

Volvo Car has developed a new business strategy which involves selling battery-powered models online, delivering them to dealerships as orders come in rather than having retailers stock hundreds of new cars.

Mr. Cottone, which started with Volvo in 2001 as a system analyst, has held several management positions and is currently Vice President of the Western Region based out of Irvine, California.

Volvo US headquarters is in Mahwah, New Jersey.
