      <title>Volvo Cars sales fall 12% in June, fully electric tumble 26%</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweden-based Volvo Cars, opens new tab reported on Wednesday a fourth straight month of falling sales volumes, pressured by trade tariffs and weaker electric vehicle demand.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China’s Geely, said in a statement it sold 62,858 cars in June, a 12% drop from a year earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The group, which in April withdrew its earnings forecast for the next two years in the face of tariffs, said sales of fully electric cars fell 26% to account for 22% of total sales volumes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sales of electrified cars as a whole, also including plug-in hybrids, were down 19% to account for 44% of total sales volumes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Volvo Cars said in May it would cut 3,000 mostly white-collar jobs as it struggles with cost increases, a slowdown in electric vehicle demand and global trade uncertainty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its sales volumes in Europe were down 14% while in the US and China they were down 7% and 3%, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shares in the company were up 1% in early trade, taking a year-to-date fall to 27%.
Volvo Cars did not comment on the sales figures in the statement.&lt;/p&gt;
