Adds detail and quote from statement in paragraphs 2-3
COPENHAGEN, Aug 2 (Reuters) -Volvo Cars' VOLCARb.ST sales rose 6% year-on-year in July to 57,447 cars, driven by an increase in fully electric vehicles in Europe, the Sweden-based automaker said on Friday.
Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, said in a statement that sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid models were up 49% compared to the same period of 2023 and also accounted for 49% of all cars sold during July.
"We are pleased to report another month of sales growth, which is driven largely by the sales in Europe despite a generally challenging market environment," deputy CEO and Chief Commercial Officer Bjorn Annwall said in the statement.
