The gentleman now in charge of leading all alliance projects for Volvo Cars Corporation goes by the name Mats Fägerhag and he’s no stranger to the ways of the Swedish automobile. At the ripe young age of 50, Fägerhag has spent the majority of his life inside the automotive industry, most recently serving as lead product developer for the now defunct Saab. His latest position, Vice President Alliance Office for Volvo, marks his return to the European country and surely, Fägerhag will bring with him a wealth of pertinent knowledge to the expanding automaker.
“I am very pleased with the opportunity to work at Volvo Car Corporation,” said Fägerhag. The Alliance Office was only recently created after the manufacture split away from its former, Ford parents. Its main responsibilities are the technical, legal and commercial dealings with other, joint companies such as current owner, Chinese Geely. A Lund University educated mechanical engineer, Fägerhag spent a large sump of his career working with Saab and General Motors. His portfolio includes two global model platforms that were created while he served as GM Europe’s lead vehicle systems engineer. “It’s exciting to be part of the intensive expansion the company is going through, not least in the Chinese market.”
