中国上汽与福特协商收购Volvo
2008年06月27日
时报讯 据外电报道，中国上汽集团正在与美国福特集团协商收购Vovlo汽车业务的事宜。福特发言人并未证实上述说法：“从2007年底开始，福特一直坚持Volvo是非卖品。”
Volvo美经销商数量削减
福特汽车的主要股东之一柯克瑞安，持有福特6.49%股份，一直声称他乐于看到现金紧张的福特汽车抛掉Volvo的包袱。1999年，福特汽车曾花费64.5亿美元，从瑞典AB沃尔沃公司收购Volvo轿车业务。
福特汽车CEO艾伦·穆拉利在一年前开始对出售Volvo进行战略评估，外界也猜测出售Volvo是穆拉利的目标之一，但是福特公司一直对此予以否认。去年，包括德国宝马与日本马自达在内的多家汽车公司，都对此项交易表现出兴趣。
在过去几年中，Volvo品牌在欧洲取得了良好的增长，产品线也逐渐趋于完善。但是，在美国市场，欧元兑美元汇率持续上升导致Volvo销量下滑。早先Volvo曾希望在2010年实现20万北美销量，现在Volvo只能冀望把下滑遏止在年销9万台。无奈之下，Volvo呼吁很多盈利不佳的美国经销商放弃经销权，在今年把美国经销商数量削减20%。
原材料涨价迫使裁员
Volvo在一份声明中宣称：“由于美国市场的滑坡和原材料成本的持续上涨，以及羸弱的欧洲市场状况，形势逐渐恶化了。” 为了控制运营成本，Volvo汽车25日宣布将裁员2000员。为了抵消原材料涨价的压力，Volvo计划裁减1400名白领及600名蓝领工人。
这项裁员计划是Volvo削减6.62亿美元成本方案的一部分。大部分的裁员将在瑞典歌德堡工厂进行，约1200名员工已经得到解聘通知。

荣威/名爵之后会是谁？上汽欲收购Volvo
汽车之家
2008/6/26
据瑞典Dagens Industri日报以及Automotive News报道，上海汽车集团股份有限公司正和福特协商，讨论收购福特旗下Volvo品牌可能性。据报道，福特汽车可能会寻求向一家中国公司出售Volvo，上海汽车工业公司是其中的潜在“求婚者”，而俄罗斯的投资者也表示有兴趣接手。
Volvo昨日透露，为了减少成本，它已经削减了2000个工作岗位。另外，它还计划将消减1400个白领岗位和600个蓝领岗位，以应对汽车市场的萧条和原材料成本的上涨。另据新华网斯德哥尔摩6月25日电，瑞典Volvo轿车公司25日宣布，为缩减成本，应对市场需求下降，该公司将裁减 1500名雇员，同时取消与500名咨询师的雇佣合同。
据沃Volvo车公司新闻官玛丽娅·博林介绍，将被解雇的1500名员工包括1200名瑞典雇员和300名海外雇员。本次削减的2000个工作岗位中，白领岗位达1400个。此间媒体报道说，由于产品销售急剧下降，Volvo车公司打算在今年内压缩40亿瑞典克朗（1美元约合6瑞典克朗）开支。上述裁员措施只是该公司庞大的紧缩计划中的一部分。
Volvo轿车公司的最新业绩报告显示，由于美元贬值使沃尔沃汽车的海外竞争力受损，再加上原材料价格不断上涨增加了成本压力，该公司今年第一季度出现了9亿瑞典克朗的亏损。

日本马自达对 Volvo 表现出兴趣? 要把兄弟变成干儿子？
|
马自达自己是福特旗下的。 马自达买 Volvo, 等于福特把Volvo从儿子辈降为孙子辈，有意思么？

Report: Ford talks with Chinese to sell Volvo （转帖）

Report: Ford talks with Chinese to sell Volvo
Volvo says it will cut 2,000 jobs
John Revill
Automotive News
June 25, 2008 - 8:36 am ET
UPDATED: 6/25/08 1:56 p.m. EDT
Ford Motor is in negotiations with a Chinese company to sell its Volvo cars division, the Swedish business publication Dagens Industri reported today on its Web site.
A Russian investor is also believed to be interested in acquiring the division, the report said.
Media reports have suggested that the Chinese company involved in talks is Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp.
A Ford spokesman said: "We have been consistently saying since the end of last year that Volvo is not for sale. We are focused on improving Volvo's business results."
Ford's new major shareholder Kirk Kerkorian, with a 6.49 percent holding, has stated he would like to see the cash strapped U.S. automotive giant divest itself of Volvo which it acquired for 50 billion Swedish crowns in 1999.
Ford's CEO Alan Mulally began a strategic review around a year ago with the sale of Volvo thought to be among his goals. However the company has denied this.
A number of automotive companies have been connected with a purchase of Volvo over the last year, including Germany's BMW and Japan's Mazda.
The Volvo brand has shown good growth over the last few years in Europe, and has a revamped model line-up.
However, in the U.S. market, Volvo has skidded under exchange rate pressures, triggering several years of sales declines. Rather than reaching for a hoped-for goal of 200,000 North American sales by 2010, Volvo is instead trying to stop a slide below 90,000 units.
In response, Volvo calling on many unprofitable U.S. dealers to walk away from the franchise, an effort expected to cut about 20 percent of the dealerships by the end of the year.
Volvo says it will cut 2,000 jobs
Volvo Cars, owned by the struggling Ford Motor, said today it would cut 2,000 jobs across its operations in an effort to trim costs.
Volvo said it planned to cut its work force by 1,400 white-collar staff and 600 blue-collar workers to offset the impact of a weak auto market and surging raw material costs.
The company has long been struggling with negative currency swings, mainly due to a weaker dollar, as well as steep rises in steel prices, but recently the situation had worsened, it said.
"Previously, this had been balanced with the help of cost reduction and efficiency programs," it said in a statement.
"However, with a continued declining U.S. market, continued price increases on raw materials, and weaker market conditions in Europe, the situation has deteriorated."
Ford in November took Volvo, which reported a first-quarter pretax loss of $151 million, off the auction block and said it planned to integrate its subsidiary more closely into purchasing and development efforts and that it would focus on improving Volvo's cost structure.
Volvo said the staff cuts announced today were part of a scheme to cut costs by 4 billion Swedish crowns ($662 million).
Most of the job cuts announced today would be carried out in Sweden with 1,200 employees given notice at its operations in Gothenburg on the country's west coast.
