Van insurance: Volvo trucks record increased sales

When buying a new Volvo vehicle, the popularity of the company's range may be at the forefront of people's minds.

That's because the company recently posted sales increases for its trucks during the first quarter of this year.

In total, 13,981 such models have been shifted so far in 2010, compared with 13,716 in 2009.

Also, the brand's operating income was up to £254 million during this period.

The statistics might give encouragement for van insurance seekers who are eager to get a suitable model either for commercial or private purposes.

Regarding the results, Leif Johansson, president and chief executive officer of the company, said: "Looking ahead, we will focus on utilising the rising sales volume to increase productivity in all of the Group's operations."

The company's trucks are used throughout the world for the purposes of distributing products.

For instance, there are more than 200,000 Volvo Penta industrial engines throughout the world.
