Nobody wants a new Volvo – has sold 33 cars

Volvo's biggest car ever is also the biggest disappointment for the car brand in a very long time. Only 33 new LM90s were produced in March.

The new Volvo LM90 is the car no one wants. Not even if Volvo is only trying to sell it at home in China.

The car, which is actually a Zeekr 009, with a different logo and lights, costs almost a million Danish kroner. And the Chinese shouldn't ask for that.

In March, only 33 copies of the car were registered. And it doesn't get much better if you look at how much Volvo has sold in total.

Only 140 EM90s have been produced this year. However, that is still better than the number of cars Volvo managed to sell last year, after production started in February.

Overall, Volvo had a really bad month in China. Sales of electric cars alone collapsed by 53 percent.

According to Swedish industry analyst Claes Hemberg, the Chinese media is currently speculating whether Volvo is so desperate to sell some cars that it might consider exporting the EM90 out of China.

However, Volvo's difficulty in China is not unique. This is the case for almost all Western or former Western car brands.

Audi is in such trouble that the Germans have created a whole new car brand just for the Chinese market. The first car will have over 745 horsepower. Read more about it here .
