On KITEC 2012:
“I congratulate the finalists on being able
to go through 199 teams to come here.
Each one of you is a champion in your own
right.”
Business update:
“We at Volvo Buses will continue to main-
tain our leadership position in the market.
We will launch new products and set trends
for competition to follow. One of the key
aspects is how we develop and build our
customer relationships. We need to con-
tinuously innovate, improve, deliver and
raise the benchmark on service delivery.
As Volvo Buses grows to become a $1 mil-
lion company in the next few years, each of
these aspects will become important.”
On KITEC 2012:
“I would like to congratulate the finalists. This is
a unique thing happening in Volvo where we im-
prove not only the competence but also teamwork
and motivation of the participants. With many
new players entering the Indian (bus and truck)
market, service will be the only differentiator and
the key to our success. Our aim is to reach 100 per
cent customer satisfaction and I am confident that
we will do it soon.”
Business update:
“VECV made a turnover of Rs. 5,000 crores last
year and our plan is to reach Rs. 7,000 crores this
year. Our first quarter sales have been good with
14,200 buses being sold, a 14 per cent growth.
Volvo Trucks continues to maintain its market
share despite the market size going down. We
can see that opportunities for growth are tremen-
dous for both Volvo Buses and VECV.”
Mr. Vinod Aggarwal, CEO, VECV
Mr. Manish Sahi, MD, Volvo Buses India (Pvt) Ltd.
