Sweden-based Volvo Cars on Wednesday reported a 33% rise in car sales in June from a year earlier, to 66,379 cars.

"The overall sales increase was driven by the company's fully electric cars which quadrupled compared to the same period last year," it said in a statement.

"Furthermore, figures from June 2022 were negatively affected by lower production due to last year's supply chain constraints."
