current chief executive of Volkswagen&#8217;s \u0160koda brand, as its next president and CEO, handing him the task of completing a turnaround at a carmaker whose shares have fallen by around 40% this year.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--business js-article-content\">\n<p>The Swedish car manufacturer Volvo has found its long-term leader.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Klaus Zellmer will take up the role no later than 1 October 2027, with current CEO H\u00e5kan Samuelsson staying on until then to oversee the handover, the company said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The German executive brings more than three decades of experience in the car industry.<\/p>\n<p>Zellmer has run \u0160koda since 2022, turning it into one of Europe&#8217;s best-selling brands with record results last year and record electric vehicle deliveries in the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, he sat on Volkswagen&#8217;s passenger car management board and spent over 20 years at Porsche, including spells running its German and North American operations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Klaus Zellmer combines deep automotive expertise with broad international leadership experience and a strong record of guiding organisations through transformation and changing market conditions,&#8221; said Eric Li, Volvo&#8217;s chairman, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Zellmer also acknowledged the scale of what he is inheriting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After almost 100 years, Volvo Cars&#8217; ability to reinvent itself time and again is both a remarkable achievement and an ongoing challenge,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div

group&#8217;s credibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A company mid-overhaul<\/h2>\n<p>Zellmer arrives with that reinvention already under way.<\/p>\n<p>Samuelsson returned for a second spell as CEO in April 2025 to steady a company hit hard by American tariffs, since most of its US-bound cars are built in Europe. To achieve that, he launched an 18 billion Swedish krona (\u20ac1.6bn) cost and cash plan, cut 3,000 jobs and scrapped Volvo&#8217;s pledge to go fully electric by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Last week he set out the next stage at an investor event in Stockholm.<\/p>\n<p>Volvo is targeting an operating margin above 8%, against just 3.5% in 2025, through a 13-model electrified line-up split between seven cars for Western markets and six for China, and a much deeper reliance on majority owner Geely for parts and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One global car won&#8217;t work, and just adapting it with different colours or trim will not be enough,&#8221;

To achieve that, he launched an 18 billion Swedish krona (\u20ac1.6bn) cost and cash plan, cut 3,000 jobs and scrapped Volvo&#8217;s pledge to go fully electric by 2030.Last week he set out the next stage at an investor event in Stockholm.Volvo is targeting an operating margin above 8%, against just 3.5% in 2025, through a 13-model electrified line-up split between seven cars for Western markets and six for China, and a much deeper reliance on majority owner Geely for parts and suppliers.&#8221;One global car won&#8217;t work, and just adapting it with different colours or trim will not be enough,&#8221; Samuelsson told investors.Global sales have continued to decline, and Samuelsson had signalled that his successor should come from inside the industry and understand Swedish culture, which he admitted made for a limited pool.Zellmer&#8217;s mix of premium and high-volume experience at Porsche and Volkswagen is what Chairman Li singled out as making him a strong fit.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2026\/09\/21\/volvo-cars-names-skoda-boss-klaus-zellmer-as-next-ceo-for-a-turnaround&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/92\/09\/38\/1200x675_cmsv2_f7a747c0-755f-5752-9127-46bb351494c5-9920938.jpg&#8221;] Culture news AI &#8216;actress&#8217; Tilly Norwood suffers embarrassing glitch during now-viral interview Europe News &#8216;Sunbed war&#8217; in Greece leaves 82-year-old dead after beach fight No Comment Oktoberfest kicks off with beer, cheers and a traditional first tap Europe News Euroviews.
