commercial vehicle brands globally, Volvo Trucks has enjoyed terrific growths of close to
five decades of operating in Malaysia. The opening of business at our Port Klang flagship
marks the pinnacle of our network expansion strategy. It not only further fortifies the Volvo
brand in this market, but also demonstrates our commitment and continued capabilities based
on global standards to all our customers in Malaysia. This dealership will also support
customers of Volvo Buses. As such, we are very pleased to have this opportunity to continue
our track record of success and strengthen our relationship with our stakeholders.”

Nilsson further said, “The location of our Port Klang flagship dealership is very strategic as it
is located along the main transport flow. There is a population of at least 2,000 trucks in the
Port Klang area and we are sitting at the heart of it. Many of our customers are here or have
