Volvo’s dealer in Portugal and Spain has joined the Volvo franchise program and will be expanding Volvo Rents in those countries, the company announced. Auto-Sueco Coimbra will expand its existing rental network in Portugal, where it has rental centers in Lisbon and Porto, and begin a rental network in Spain.
Auto-Sueco will expand its rental network from two to five locations over the next three years, said Jorge Patricio, the company’s Portugal rental manager.
Volvo Maquinaria, the Volvo dealer acquired by Auto-Sueco three years ago, will begin a rental operation with branches in Madrid and Barcelona in the coming months. The company plans to open 16 branches over the next two years.
Volvo is working on a plan to develop its rental franchise program in eastern Europe as soon as possible.
