Volvo, Daimler Truck suspend business in Russia

Mercedes-Benz looking to divest from investments in the country

Chinese-owned Volvo Cars and Germany's Daimler Truck announced the suspension of some of their operations in Russia on Monday due to the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Volvo said it has stopped delivering cars to Russia until further notice, while Daimler Truck is freezing all business activities in the country, including work it does in collaboration with Russia's Kamaz.

Daimler Truck owner Mercedes-Benz Group said it is looking at legal avenues to divest the 15% stake it holds in Kamaz, Reuters reported.

Truckmaker AB Volvo, which is separate from Volvo Cars, has also suspended sales and production in Russia, where it does 3% of its business.
