• Volvo Cars on Tuesday announced plans to hire 1,200 employees, mainly in research and development, in Sweden and Belgium. Some 1,000 positions were aimed for Sweden, with 900 positions for auto engineers, personnel director Bjorn Sallstrom, told a news conference at Volvo's base in Gothenburg, western Sweden. The announcement suggested Gothenburg was set to remain important for Volvo's research and development activities. In February, Volvo said it would move some development of electric vehicles and hybrids to Shanghai. The need to hire new personnel reflected an upswing in sales of cars after the financial crisis and in the wake of China-based Zhejiang Geely Holding Group last year taking over ownership of the carmaker from US automotive giant Ford. Paul Welander, head of product development, said the break with Ford had been tough for construction since the two groups had become 'strongly integrated' during Ford's decade-long ownership. Volvo hoped to find new engineers and other specialists by using social networking sites like Facebook as well as traditional job advertisements. 'We want to increase diversity,' Welander said. In addition to research and development, such as electrification, there were also needs within purchasing, IT and marketing. Chief Executive Stefan Jacoby said Volvo was confident it has 'a proper business plan and strategy.' 'We have to work hard to be competitive,' he said, saying sales in recent months had been good in several key markets. Concerning events in earthquake-stricken Japan and the ramifications on component makers there, Volvo had set up a special management team to monitor events and ensure a regular flow of material, Jacoby said. In 2010, Volvo sold some 373,000 cars worldwide. Read The Rest
