Volvo Cars Total Sales Rise 1% in February, EV Sales Fall

COPENHAGEN, March 4 (Reuters) - Volvo Cars sold 50,662 cars in February, up 1% from a year earlier, the Sweden-based company said on Tuesday, as sales of its electric vehicles declined for the month.

Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, said in a statement sales of fully electric cars were down 15% to account for 18% of total sales.

Sales of electrified cars as a whole, also including plug-in hybrids, were down 3% and accounted for 43% of total sales.

Shares in the company, which has warned of a turbulent and competitive 2025, were down 1.7% at 0805 GMT, slightly underperforming the wider market in Stockholm which traded own 1.4%.
