Volvo
Volvo is a Swedish automobile manufacturer known for its commitment to safety, innovation, and premium-quality vehicles. Founded in 1927, Volvo has a rich history of producing cars, trucks, and SUVs that prioritize the well-being of both occupants and pedestrians. They are pioneers in automotive safety technology, with inventions like the three-point seatbelt, which they shared with the industry.
The brand was acquired by Chinese company Geely in 2010, who also own Polestar and other notable marques.
In recent years, Volvo has shifted towards electrification, with a commitment to having all-electric vehicles make up 50% of their global sales by 2025. Models like the XC40 Recharge and XC60 Recharge represent their electric future.
Volvo's vehicles are also recognised for their Scandinavian design, blending minimalist aesthetics with cutting-edge technology and high-quality materials.
