Volvo Cars reports sales of 47, 561 cars in January, a decline by 20.2 per cent compared with the same month last year. Demand for Volvo Cars products remains strong.

Sales of fully electric cars during the month more than doubled compared with the same month last year and made up 6.6 per cent of total sales.
