Volvo Car AB tapped its longtime CEO Hakan Samuelsson to retake the helm as the Swedish automaker tries to navigate its way out of a malaise worsened by looming U.S. tariffs.

Sweden’s state-owned pension investors, collectively known as the AP Funds, have fully written down their entire investment in bankrupt battery maker Northvolt AB.

Northvolt AB shareholders approved the bankrupt electric vehicle supplier’s plan to keep building battery cells while it seeks new funding to restructure under Chapter 11 protection.

A combination of shareholders, lenders and customers are participating in the bridge funding, and the instruments vary among these groups, a source said.

Volvo Car AB is shaking up its management team, with Chief Commercial Officer and Deputy CEO Bjorn Annwall leaving the company.

Swedish battery maker Northvolt is pausing part of the production at its flagship factory and cutting the workforce to cope with a drop in electric vehicle demand.

Polestar named Michael Lohscheller its new CEO as the electric vehicle maker seeks to stem deepening losses and fix ongoing operational problems.

Logistics firm DSV plans to buy 300 electric heavy trucks from Volvo AB in what would be one of the largest commercial orders to date for the Swedish manufacturer’s battery-powered rigs.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK Plc has started production of its Polestar 3 sport utility vehicle in the U.S. to sidestep the nation’s tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK Plc reported deepening losses for last year as the EV maker faced weaker demand amid organizational challenges that delayed its earnings report.
