Volvo Sweden

Volvo company was founded in 1927 in Gothenburg as a subsidiary company 100% owned by SKF, a ball bearing producer. In fact the trademark Volvo was registered in 1915 for the new model of ball bearing and automobiles, but until 1927 it wasn’t used. The production of cars started in 1927 with the Volvo ÖV 4 and from the start all the Volvo cars were designed primarly for the Swedish market and Swedish climate. With wide range of cabriolets, saloon cars, estate cars Volvo soon became popular outside of Sweden, mostly due to their high quality of the cars - they often were not pretty, but build to survive in the rough circumstances.
