Cost efficiency

Efforts to increase cost-efficiency continue in the production structure, in product costs and in the administrative flow in the Group.

All areas are affected, including common product platforms with fewer components, and common product development. In production, flexible final assembly close to the customer is combined with the transfer of high-volume standard production to external and internal production units in low-cost countries.
