A Volvo insider has told Dagens Industri that management would like to see Volvo bought out by a Swedish consortium of investors, which has already gathered 54% of the estimated value of Volvo. The remaining funds would be raised through the Stockholm stock market, while Ford would retain a 10-15% holding.
No matter who buys Volvo in the end, Ford must hold on to a small stake for at least the next decade because of the high level of integration between its own models and the Volvo cars. Both carmakers share technical know-how as well as safety and electronic components.
