STOCKHOLM—Volvo Car Group has appointed Jim Rowan as new chief executive to succeed long-time CEO Hakan Samuelsson in March, it said on Tuesday.

Rowan, currently CEO at U.S-based Ember Technologies, is taking over just months after Volvo wrapped up its initial public offering, the biggest in Europe last year.
