 The History of Volvo
Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar, is an automobile maker that was founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden.
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 is working on an intelligent platform for accessing car-functions with less buttons (comparable to "Command" of DC or "iDrive" from BMW, but less confusing and radical).
When: It will be launched in 2004 (which means that Volvo will not have a convertible in their line-up for a few years after the present C70 is dropped).
A typical Volvo station wagon without a rounded-off back-end, and a very high roof-line gives an amazingly large size interior space even though the exterior is relatively small.

 2007 Volvo Xc50 - Softpedia Forum
Volvo will be introducing a “concept” version of their newest utility vehicle this coming January at the NAIAS in Detroit, but the production version – to be called XC60 – won’t arrive until the second quarter of 2008 – allowing it to carry either the 2008 or 2009 model year designation.
There was no misprint: though the name XC50 has been mentioned several times in the media, Volvo will be calling their new SUV the XC60 when the concept debuts in Detroit.
Between 2007 and 2009, Volvo predict that this segment will expand by 75 per cent, and hopes the bold styling of the XC60 will appeal to a young, aspiring customer who’s starting a family and has just grown out of one of their C30 hatchbacks or S40 saloons.

The first is that the Freelander will share its platform with a forthcoming Jaguar ‘crossover’ vehicle, and the suspension has been redesigned to accommodate that car’s need for seven seats.
Originally the Freelander shared a platform with the forthcoming Volvo XC50 4x4, but our sources say Volvo’s requirements for a small four-wheel drive differ from Land Rover’s, so the two vehicles are being kept separate.
The other, more radical potential reason for the Freelander’s slow progress is that engineers have had to redesign the vehicle around the possibility of petrol-electric hybrid power being fitted in the future.
