Ford has stated that it’s unlikely Volvo would be separated from the PAG because of its integration with other brands within the group. Volvo now supplies safety know-how to many other Ford brands and its profits offset major losses from Jaguar within the PAG.
Paul Newton, an analyst from Global Insight, revealed to The Independent that Ford is in fact selling all companies within the PAG and Volvo is expected to be the most expensive. With an estimated profit of $559 million for this year, we're not surprised that there's so much interest.
