**Articles
      of Association for Aktiebolaget Volvo**





**§
      1**


The
      name
      of the Company is **Aktiebolaget
      Volvo** .
      The
      company is a public company (publ).





**§
      2**


The
      Company shall - directly or through subsidiaries - mainly carry on business
      within the areas of transport, foodstuffs, energy and finance (with the
      exception, however, of activities provided for the Swedish Banking Business
      Act
      and the Swedish Credit Market Companies Act), manage real estate and moveable
      property and carry on other activities compatible therewith.





**§
      3**


The
      Board
      of the Company shall have its registered office in Gothenburg.





**§
      4**


The
      Company's share capital shall comprise a minimum of one thousand eight hundred
      million (1,800,000,000) kronor and a maximum of seven thousand two hundred
      million (7,200,000,000) kronor.





The
      number
      of shares shall be a minimum of 300,000,000 and a maximum of
      1,200,000,000.





Two
      classes of shares may be issued, series A and series B. If shares in both the
      A
      and B series are issued, each series may be issued to an amount equivalent
      to a
      maximum of ninety-nine hundredths of the total share capital.





In
      a vote
      at a General Meeting, series A shares carry one vote and series B shares
      one-tenth of a vote. Series A shares and series B shares carry equal rights
      to
      share in the assets and earnings of the Company.





Should
      the
      Company decide to issue new series A and series B shares by way of a cash issue
      or offset issue, the holders of series A and series B shares shall have a
      preferential right to subscribe for new shares of the same series in proportion
      to their existing shareholding (primary preferential right). Shares not
      subscribed for by virtue of a primary preferential right shall be offered for
      subscription to all shareholders (subsidiary preferential right). If shares
      thus
      offered are insufficient for subscription by virtue of a subsidiary preferential
      right, the shares shall be distributed among those wishing to subscribe in
      proportion to their previous shareholding or, to the extent this is not
      possible, through the drawing of lots.





Should
      the
      Company decide to issue new shares of only series A or series B through a cash
      issue or offset issue, all shareholders, regardless of whether they hold series
      A shares or series B shares, shall have the preferential right to subscribe
      for
      new shares in proportion to their previous shareholding.





Should
      the
      Company decide to issue subscription options or convertibles through a cash
      issue or offset issue, the shareholders shall have a preferential right to
      subscribe for subscription options in the same way as if the issue applied
      to
      the shares that could be newly subscribed for as a result of the option right
      or
      the preferential right to subscribe for convertibles in the same way as if
      the
      issue applied to the shares for which the convertibles could be
      exchanged.





The
      above
      shall not constitute any restriction on the possibility to decide on a cash
      issue or offset issue, deviating from the preferential rights of the
      shareholders.





If
      the
      share capital is increased through a bonus issue, new shares in each series
      shall be issued in proportion to the existing number of shares in each series.
      Old shares in a specific series shall thus carry entitlement to new shares
      in
      the same series. The aforesaid shall not constitute any restriction on the
      possibility to issue new shares of a new series through a bonus issue, following
      the requisite amendment to the Articles of Association.





**§
      5**


Apart
      from
      specially appointed members and deputies, the Company's Board of Directors
      shall
      comprise a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve members with a maximum of
      an
      equal number of deputies.









**§
        6**

        Company shall appoint a minimum of two and a maximum of three auditors and
        a
        minimum of two and a maximum of three deputy auditors or a registered firm
        of
        auditors.
 
 The
        Board
        of Directors is entitled to appoint one or more special auditors or a registered
        firm of auditors to examine reports or plans prepared by the Board in accordance
        with the Companies Act in conjunction with a new issue of shares, subscription
        options or convertibles, which contains stipulations regarding contribution
        in
        kind or that subscription shall take place by virtue of a right of set-off
        or
        under other terms and conditions, a transfer of the Company's own shares
        in
        return for non-cash consideration, a reduction in the share capital or the
        statutory reserve, a merger or a division of a limited company.
