“These assets and the skills and competence of the Proterra team are a great complement to our current footprint and enables us to accelerate our battery electric roadmap even further,” said CTO Lars Stenqvist.
Volvo intends to run Proterra as a going concern and deliver to selected customers.
The transaction has no material impact on the group’s financial performance.
