Different ways of Luxembourg: Volvo and Autopolis are history

Belgian businessman Vincent Fonzé has taken over Volvo’s Autopolis business. This was reported first paper jam. From June 1, there will no longer be any Volvo cars for sale at Autopolis newspaper I learned from a conversation with Autopolis.

From now on, anyone who wants to buy a “car with cult status” – Volvo’s slogan – will have to drive to a new address. The new owner of the brand’s sales rights in Luxembourg is moving to the former BMW premises of the Kontz family in Bonnevoie. The reason: “Provide excellent visibility and accessibility for Volvo,” as it says in the press release.

Autopolis bids farewell to the car brand that started it all. Is that a big loss? “Good question,” says the Volvo dealer from Autopolis. “Due to changes in the automotive industry, we committed to finding the best partner within the existing Volvo Benelux network,” said Marc Devillet, CEO of Autopolis in a press release.

In 1995, the Luxembourg car dealer started its business by acquiring Scancar, thereby gaining the rights to distribute Volvos. In addition to the Swedish brand, other car manufacturers were gradually added. In 2023, a total of 17 brands could be found in Autopolis stores.
