New Volvo

Volvo, produced marine power units, construction equipment, trucks and buses as well as cars until Ford's purchase in 1999. As a car maker, Volvo has a well-developed and highly regarded reputation for safe cars and stoical independence. Volvo's market stance, design, research and development have remained true to its core values for decades. Yet the Volvo name is a Latin term, meaning "I roll". That name was originally derived from SKF Bearing Co, which began as a maker of special bearings for its parent back in 1911, before being sold off to produce Volvo cars. The first Volvo car took until 1927 to appear. Being built in Sweden placed very specific demands on the cars. Volvo's ability to perform in extreme temperature, as for almost 6 months of the year sub-zero conditions are typical. This single vital factor that led to Volvo developing its core standards. However, sales success took until 1944 with the introduction of the PV 444 before Volvo could be described as having gained any real automotive success. But for Volvo's transition from numerous partnerships, which included Peugeot and Renault technological relationships during the 70s and 80s, Volvo might have taken a very different route. However, Ford wanted Volvo as it was one of the few remaining independent car manufacturers; Volvo was seen as a perfect fit with the N American giant's brand portfolio. Middle America had taken the Volvo Estate car to its heart, as indded had every UK antiques dealer! Under Ford, Volvo began to introduced a somewhat different slant; a more class driven image led to the certain inevitability that it would move into the premium car sector.
