Per Carlsson, currently the global senior vice president of strategy and transformation office for Volvo Trucks, has been appointed acting president of Volvo Trucks North America. He will, on an interim basis, succeed Göran Nyberg, who has decided to take a position outside the Volvo Group.

Carlsson, pictured above, has held several senior management positions in the Volvo Group over the last 33 years, including serving as president of Volvo Trucks North America from 2008-2009 and as chief operating officer of the Volvo Group’s North American truck operations from 2010-2011. The recruitment process to identify a new North American president is underway, Volvo said.
