“Health and safety continue to be our first priorities and we are closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, which unfortunately shows signs of becoming more severe again and we are staying ready to take the necessary safety precautions and business actions,” said Veoneer chairman, president and CEO, Jan Carlson.
“Vehicle production accelerated through the quarter, leading to a rapid increase in demand in the entire automotive supply chain, in a time when we are still fighting the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic. In this challenging environment we executed a record number of activities including: successful vehicle launches, continued market adjustment initiatives, signing of a letter of intent with Qualcomm, finalising the split of Zenuity and the divestment of our brake business.
“To summarise, our underlying performance improved in almost all metrics. I am pleased with Veoneer’s operational performance in the third quarter and I would like to thank the entire Veoneer team for their focus, dedication and discipline during this highly unusual year.”
