Article about the person in charge of Volvo's official scale models

I found today in my mailbox a publication called 'MY VOLVO Magazine' which Volvo is mailing in Luxembourg and Belgium for free to their customers. This magazine is published by Volvo Car Belux, Gent (B).
This edition for summer 2014 features a double sided article on page 30 and 31 explaining Lennart Ekdahl's job. Lennart is from Sweden and he works for Volvo where he is in charge of every official Volvo scale model. Every newly released Vovlo scale model passes trough his hands. And they are only manufactured if Lennart has accepted and approved the pre-production model which every manufacturer has to send to him.
This article is in French and gives mostly explanations about the way Lennart is contributing to get quality scale models from the various producers around the world. There are also a few lines dealing with the latest concept cars which Volvo is also offering as scale models.
You might prefer reading this English article which appeared some time ago in one of Volvo's official blogs : wedesignvolvo.tumblr.com/....  That article is older but explains very much the same content.
