Waldemar André Christensen has been appointed as Volvo Group Southern Africa’s new VP and MD.

He replaces Marcus Hörberg, who will be joining the Volvo Trucks team in France. 

Christensen started his Volvo career in 2011 in his native Norway. He has experience in commercial product management, government and fleet sales, as well as dealer and retail operations. 

Christensen was also the MD of Volvo Trucks in Norway from 2016 to 2019.

Most recently, he was head of truck sales operations for the Volvo European regional value chain, located at Volvo’s headquarters in Sweden.

Christensen has an MBA, and his qualifications are centred around business, administration, law and entrepreneurship.

“I am so excited to be given this opportunity and look forward to supporting our South African customers in building sustainable businesses for the future,” says Christensen. 

“The Volvo Group Southern Africa team has extensive experience in the local transport environment, and I greatly value their insights and knowledge, especially now as the global logistics industry faces some challenging business conditions.”

Volvo Group Southern Africa’s head office is in Jet Park, Gauteng, and it has a Volvo Trucks assembly plant in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. 

Local operations include brands like Volvo Trucks, Volvo Penta, Volvo Bus and Volvo Financial Service. It currently employs 1 000 staff around the country.
