I realised the XC90 was popular, but not to this level.
See this press release from Volvo which includes the following quote: "From a global perspective, the XC90 also holds the significant position in Sweden's overall economy, being the country's most valuable export. Its total yearly export value was over 40 billion SEK (3.8 billion GBP at the current exchange rate) in the peak years." Amazing... https://www.media.volvocars.com/uk/e...?mediaid=41900 I haven't been able to confirm exactly how much of Sweden's total exports this is, but in 2009 GDP was 890bn krone (Bloomberg) and exports were 48% of that (World Bank). Thus XC90s were 8.6% of total exports...! That has got to be wrong. |
