STOCKHOLM, Oct 2 (Reuters)it – Sweden-based ​Volvo Cars said on Friday it will ‌not fulfil its previous full-year outlook ⁠statements ​on volume ⁠and cash flow ‌due ‌to an increasingly challenging market ⁠situation ⁠and deteriorating near term outlook.

Volvo Cars said the market situation had resulted in ‌lower-than-expected sales ​and a weaker full year outlook for the company.

“The decline is primarily driven by further deteriorating ​market ‌conditions in ‌China and ⁠slower than expected recovery in the US, while ‌Europe remains resilient,” ​it said.
