Volvo, A Brief History
Volvo is a Swedish multinational company and the biggest Scandinavian car maker, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The company produces cars, trucks, buses and construction equipment. Volvo’s name means “I roll” in Latin – it was a reference to ball bearing, as the company was a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. Its logo is a Swedish symbol for iron (representing rolling strength), and its slogan is “Volvo for life”, referring to the reliability and safety of their cars.
Volvo produced its first car in 1927 but its cars did not become popular outside Sweden until after World War II. The main purpose of the company was to produce the safest car possible, after the wife of one of its founders died in a car accident. Their cars are known for safety, quality, reliability, environmental awareness and conservative styling.
Volvo produced a number of legendary cars. PV444 was the first true small car and the best sold model in the 60’s. P1800 was their first sports car, so famous that it featured in the hit TV series “The Saint” where it was driven by Roger Moore. The most successful Volvo of all time was the 240 series, sold in more than 4 million units. The US traffic safety administration bought a number of 240s and used them to set the safety standards against which all new cars in the US were tested. Volvo 850 was introduced in 1991 – it has since earned more than 40 international awards, including the Good Design Grand Prize. Two American surveys in 1991 cited Volvo as the safest car on the market.
In 1999 Volvo was sold to American Ford Motor Company who sold it to the Chinese motor manufacturer Geely Automobile in 2010.
