STOCKHOLM, July 17 (Reuters) – Swedish truckmaker Volvo Group reported on Friday a rise in second-quarter operating profit that roughly matched expectations as sales rose, and said its truck order intake increased by 33% from a year earlier.
Operating profit increased to 13.5 billion crowns ($1.40 billion) from a year-earlier 9.96 billion and a mean forecast in an LSEG poll of analysts of 13.6 billion, on an organic sales increase of 7%.
