However this new development sees a new cementing of the relationship between the two companies. The move makes Volvo the largest single shareholder in Deutz, with a 25% stake in the firm. Volvo bought the 22 million shares in stock from SAME DEUTZ-FAHR, which now has just 8.4% of the engine firm.

The terms of Volvo’s share acquisition have not been revealed at this stage, while the deal is subject to approval from the antitrust authorities.
