Kverneland Bil

What Kverneland Bil does

Kverneland Bil is a privately held Norwegian multi-brand automotive retail group operating 9+ dealership locations across western and southern Norway, including Haugesund, Bryne, Stavanger/Sandnes, Bergen (Kokstad and Åsane), Kristiansand, Mandal, Kvinesdal, Odda, and Lyngdal. The company was founded in 1921 per firmographic data (with company timeline references to 1896 and over 100 years of Ford representation, making it one of Europe's oldest Ford dealers). It holds authorized dealer agreements with five OEMs — Ford (passenger and commercial vehicles), Volvo (including the EX30, EX40, EC40, EX60, EX90, ES90 and plug-in hybrid XC90 Recharge), MG (MG 4, S5 EV, S6 EV, IM5, IM6, Cyberster), Polestar (2, 3, 4), and Zeekr (X, 001, 7X, 7GT) — with flagship multi-brand "Bilhuset" sites in Stavanger/Sandnes and Haugesund plus dedicated Polestar Space and Zeekr retail formats.

The company's revenue model is built on four streams: new vehicle sales (hardware sales across the five brands, unit-priced from NOK 269,900 for an MG 4 up to NOK 912,250 for a Volvo EX90), used vehicle sales through the Volvo Selekt and Ford Approved certified pre-owned programs and general inventory, workshop/service revenue (maintenance, EU inspections, mechanical and electrical repair, diagnostics) and Volvo Car Mobile Service (technician-dispatched on-site service), with financing and leasing intermediated through partnerships with Santander Consumer Bank and DNB Finans AS. Marketing and lead capture run through a corporate website (kvernelandbil.no), a dedicated used-car portal (bruktbil.kvernelandbil.no), local Facebook pages, SEO, dedicated campaign landing pages, and physical test drive experiences.

Kverneland Bil serves two main customer segments: individual Norwegian consumers purchasing new or used vehicles (primary) and business/fleet customers buying Ford commercial vehicles and utility vehicles (nyttekjøretøy). Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the physical dealership network combined with online lead capture, supported by roadside assistance lines per brand. The company is privately held, headquartered in Sandnes, Norway, and reports 101-250 employees.
