	Volvo Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1998, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company and placed in its Premier Automotive Group.
		The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the bonnet or boot of the car.
		In the early 1970s, Volvo acquired the passenger car division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

	Volvo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volvo is Latin for "I roll", and although fitting well to their products, vehicles, it was originally a name for a ball bearing being developed by the company SKF, which provided funding to a few employees to set up the car-manufacturing business.
		Among the reasons why Volvo took the initiative to sell the automobile manufacturing was the increasing development costs for new car models, coupled with the fact that it was a relatively small producer.
		Volvo used the funds from the sale of the automobile division to finance the purchase of Scania, another leading Swedish truck manufacturer, but the deal was stopped for competition reasons by the European Union.

		Volvo had a different philosophy: they believed quality cars could only be built from designing components in-house, contracting the designs to be built by manufacturers and finally assembling the parts by experienced car builders.
		Volvo also claims the engine packaging allows short and direct plumbing between the exhaust manifold and the under-floor catalysts, meaning quicker light-off and lower emissions.
		I have driven 10 Volvos over a period of 30 years and 1,200,000 miles and only had one (1974 245DL) that required any major work, but since the 850 was a new model, I covered myself by getting the 100,000 mile/6 year extended warranty which covered (almost) everything.

	Volvo Safety Center - The Car Connection
		Volvo, the Scandinavian carmaker whose brand has been synonymous with safety, has now opened what is arguably the world's most advanced safety-testing facility, the Volvo Cars Safety Center.
		All of these developments in the Volvo crash barrier have spawned from recent research revealing that about 40 percent of all crashes are offset - that is, even a "head-on" collision, in today's modern cars with anti-lock brakes (ABS), is often offset slightly to one side or another.
		Volvo has also created a crash safety laboratory that includes two test tracks, one of which can be moved, rotated and angled up to 90 degrees to simulate crashes from a head-on to a rear-end collision.

		Volvo's new C70 Coupé is one of the best ways to spend R300 000, unless you're into pace uber alles, where a faster and cheaper (and more practical, with two extra doors) BMW M3 sedan would make a lot more sense.

	VOLVO SWEDEN AND SWEDISH CARS HISTORY \| DIRECTORY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS \| VEHICLE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY \| CONCEPT CARS
		Even at this early stage in truck development, Volvo trucks were built to a very high standard in terms of their reliability and quality, especially compared to non-Swedish trucks, which had not been designed with the poor Swedish climate and poor Swedish roads in mind.
		By 1964 Volvo had opened a new production plant in Torslanda, Sweden capable of producing up to 200,000 cars a year and by 1966 the Volvo 140 family was introduced firstly as a saloon and later as an estate, helping to cement a family market that Volvo was rapidly claiming as its own.
		The Volvo 240 range replaced the 140 with even higher levels of safety and quality and was joined by the smaller Volvo 340 models from Holland to take Volvo’s sales past the 4 million mark by the end of the 1970’s.
