Volvo Group - the third quarter 2021

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- "During Q3 2021, demand for the Volvo Group's products and services was good in most markets around the world. We increased our net sales to SEK 85.3 billion with strong growth not least in the service business.
