Why boycott?

According to Al-Haq, Volvo bulldozers have been used since 2020 for illegal demolitions of Palestinian buildings. In June 2022, Volvo machines were used to demolish residential tents and animal shelters in the villages of Al-Fakheet and Al-Markez, after the occupation state’s Supreme Court in May 2022 decided to evict eight villages in the Masafer Yatta region. In 2023, WhoProfits.org reported that Volvo's heavy machinery was used for demolitions in Palestinian neighborhoods in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem (source 1, source 2).

Background
Volvo Group is a Swedish multinational company producing trucks, buses, construction machinery, as well as marine and industrial engines. Volvo's importer and distributor in the occupation state is Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd, which also sells bus chassis (the foundational base on which a bus is built). Volvo Bus Corporation, together with Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd, owns the company Merkavim, which uses Volvo chassis for its armored buses, i.e., buses specifically designed to protect passengers from attacks. These buses are used for transport to Israeli settlements. Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd and Merkavim are included in the UN database from June 2023 (source).

Hvorfor boykotte?

Ifølge Al-Haq er Volvo-bulldozere siden 2020 blevet brugt til ulovlige nedrivninger af palæstinensiske bygninger. I juni 2022 blev Volvo-maskiner brugt til at rive boligtelte og dyreskure ned i landsbyerne Al-Fakheet og Al-Markez, efter at besættelsesstatens højesteret i maj 2022 besluttede at udvise otte landsbyer i Masafer Yatta-regionen. I 2023 rapporterede WhoProfits.org, at Volvo's tunge maskiner blev brugt til nedrivninger i palæstinensiske nabolag på den besatte Vestbred og i Østjerusalem (kilde 1, kilde 2).

baggrund
Volvo Group er en svensk multinational virksomhed, der producerer lastbiler, busser, entreprenørmaskiner samt marine- og industrimotorer. Volvo's importør og distributør i besættelsesstaten er Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd, som også sælger buschassiser (den grundlæggende base, som en bus bygges på). Volvo Bus Corporation ejer sammen med Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd virksomheden Merkavim, der bruger Volvo-chassiser til sine pansrede busser, altså busser, der er specielt designet til at beskytte passagerer mod angreb. Disse busser anvendes til transport til israelske bosættelser. Mayer Cars and Trucks Ltd og Merkavim er inkluderet i FN's database fra juni 2023 (kilde).
