    [STOCKHOLM] Geely-owned automaker Volvo Car Group swung to a profit in the first quarter as its new up-market models helped drive margins to the level it has set as a benchmark to be competitive with bigger global rivals.

    The Gothenburg-based carmaker, bought by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co from Ford Motor Co in 2010, said operating earnings rose to 3.1 billion Swedish crowns (S$520.5 million) in the quarter from a year-ago loss of 11 million.
