Volvo plans 'attack' on sport-utility market

Article Abstract:

Volvo will introduce a sport-utility vehicle in the US, said Hans-Olaf Olson, the Swedish automaker's US president. Olson said the US sport- utility market of 3 million customers is lucrative enough for the company to overlook. Volvo's sport-utility vehicle will have a Volvo chassis, rather than one from Ford, which formally acquired Volvo after Volvo shareholders approved of the deal on Mar 8, 1999.
