The new Volvo board is headed by Geely Chairman Li Shufu and has several new directors including Volvo's former president and chief executive Hans-Olov Olsson as vice-chairman.
Geely has also reshuffled Volvo's China management. Volvo retains its headquarters and manufacturing presence in Sweden and Belgium. Its management has the autonomy to execute its business plan under strategic direction from the board.
