The Volvo Tech Hub Singapore, which employed 15 people, has been closed due to global business difficulties, the carmaker says
[SINGAPORE] Volvo Cars has shuttered its satellite research and development (R&D) office in Singapore, around eight months after it opened.
The Swedish carmaker confirmed the closure of the Volvo Tech Hub Singapore in a statement to The Business Times on Friday (Sep 26).
The closure “reflects the turbulence in global markets and the challenging external environment facing the automotive industry at large”, it said. In response to this, it has “initiated an accelerated cost and cash action plan designed to drive long-term structural efficiencies across the organisation”.
