"A stock market listing is an option," Samuelsson told the magazine, adding that there are no current plans for such a move and that it would be up to parent company Geely Holding [GEELY.UL] to decide.

Last month, Volvo raised 5 billion Swedish crowns ($532 million) from a group of Swedish institutional investors by selling newly-issued preference shares that would have "an immaterial dilutive effect" on Geely's 100 percent ownership.

"Today's move is another step toward Volvo Cars' long expressed ambition to act as a listed company," Volvo said in a statement in December.
