Volvo Cars (stylized as VOLVO) is a Swedish automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Torslanda in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The company manufactures and markets sport utility vehicles (SUVs), station wagons, hatchbacks, sedans and compact executive sedans. The Volvo Group was founded in 1927 as a subsidiary of the ball bearing manufacturer SKF. When AB Volvo (now a separate company) was introduced on the Stockholm stock exchange in 1935, SKF sold most of its shares in the company. Its cars are marketed as being safe, solidly built and reliable while emphasizing their Swedish heritage and design.
The heavy truck and construction equipment conglomerate AB Volvo and Volvo Cars have been independent companies since AB Volvo sold Volvo Cars to the Ford Motor Company in 1999.
In 2010, Volvo Cars became a subsidiary of the Chinese manufacturer Geely Holding Group. Both AB Volvo and Volvo Cars share the Volvo logo, and cooperate in running the Volvo Museum.
With approximately 2,300 local dealers from around 100 national sales companies worldwide, Volvo Cars’ largest markets are China, the United States, Sweden, United Kingdom and Germany. Most of its worldwide employees are based in Sweden.
Instead of designing the Tesla Semi as either a right or left-hand drive truck, Tesla placed the steering wheels in the center of the vehicle with screens overlaying the sides.
Together with Geely Digital Technology, Concordium announced it has developed several applications, including the BaaS platform, blockchain traceability, and decentralized apps.
Volvo will establish its electric car charging infrastructure at 15 locations between Denver to Seattle. The company will monitor all these stations closely and assess the usage by electric vehicles to decide on future expansion.
