Volvo might be in for long wait with Dongfeng JV
Swedish industrial group Volvo could have to wait years before it can begin manufacturing heavy trucks in China together with potential joint venture partner Dongfeng Motor Group Co Ltd.
"We are 90 percent through with our discussions," Volvo Deputy Chief Executive Jorma Halonen said on Thursday, adding though that progress in talks was not the only factor affecting its timetable.
When asked when the joint venture could be finalized, Halonen said it could take anywhere between 2 to 15 years. Should a deal be reached, Volvo would likely replace Nissan Motor Co Ltd as Dongfeng's heavy and medium duty commercial vehicles partner.
Currently Volvo already operates four joint automotive ventures in China
