“Sarawak’s potential in the premium car market cannot be understated. It is vital that we regain a foothold in Kuching before expanding into other cities within the state. We have worked hard to ensure that the brand is represented by competent and passionate dealer partners that will serve our customers well.”

Like all Volvo dealerships, Volvo Kuching will adhere to the latest showroom and service standards which Volvo terms “Volvo Retail Experience” or VRE – a customer-centric, Scandinavian-inspired experience that is cool on the outside and warm on the inside.

“VRE is based on Volvo’s brand philosophy which revolves around people and what’s important to them. I am confident that Fotroende Automobile will deliver the expected level of service to our loyal customers in Kuching,” Stegland added.

The company’s name (Fotroende Automobile) is derived from the Swedish word “Förtroende” which means “confidence”.

“Demand for the brand is strong, especially with the arrival of exciting new models from Volvo. We are proud that have been chosen by Volvo Car Malaysia to represent the brand here in Kuching,” said Managing Director of Fotroende Automobile, David Lai.

The Volvo showroom in Kuching opens from 8:30am till 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, and closes at 4pm on Saturdays. It is also open on Sundays and Public Holidays from 10am to 3pm.
