Volvo Construction Equipment reported a 13 % increase in net sales in Q2 compared to the same period last year, owing to higher volumes in North America, Europe, and South America.
Net sales increased by 21% year over year after accounting for currency fluctuations. All companies' Q2 year-over-year (y-o-y) results will be compared to the height of the pandemic during the same quarter last year.
Except for China, which experienced a slight downturn after its Q1 surge, Volvo CE said all markets increased year-over-year during the quarter. Infrastructure spending and housing construction activity drove a 35 % increase in unit volume in the company's North American markets.
A 35 % increase in global order intakes, led by Volvo-brand products, has been attributed to increased consumer confidence and increased infrastructure investment. The slowdown in the Chinese market had an impact on the company's SDLG brand.
While maintaining a steady recovery from last year's challenges remains a top priority, Volvo CE president Melker Jernberg said the company's innovation journey has continued this quarter with several exciting launches, including a 50-ton excavator and the first dedicated Fuel Cell Test Lab.
Volvo CE told the media that Large and medium-sized machines continue to outsell compact machines.
