		Volvo, which is Latin for "I roll," was formed as a spin-off from roller ball bearing maker SKF.
		Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1999, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company and placed in its Premier Automotive Group.
		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.

		The Volvo 140 is an automobile from Volvo.
		The design is based on the Volvo PV sedan and the front is the same, but instead of coil springs on all four corners as with the PV, the rear of the Duett is supported by leaf springs.
		While Volvo enjoyed a reputation for building fine automobiles from the beginning in 1927, most fans of this marque acknowledge that the defining moment determining Volvo's reputation for building solid durable cars that were a delight to drive commenced with the introduction of the PV444.

	CARkeys - Volvo's Safety Concept History
		Developed at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Centre in California, the ECC gave a clear indication of how future Volvos would look; it bears a close resemblance to the S80, which was launched six years later, and the front-end treatment is still being echoed in Volvo's most recently-introduced models, the S40 and V50.
		Its A-pillars are described by Volvo as "see-through" (they actually have a lattice-like construction allowing the fitment of several small, triangular windows, which would probably cost a fortune) and the B-pillars curve inwards to promote rear visibility.
		Volvo says that many of the SCC's features are, if not already in production, at least likely to be in the near future, but this one might take some time to reach the market.
