Volvo Car AB
Volvo (Latin for 'I roll') was founded in 1927 in Gothenburg by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson as a subsidiary of the SKF ball-bearing company. The first car, the ÖV4, was designed for Swedish roads and weather — a positioning the brand has never abandoned. The 1959 three-point seatbelt, invented by Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin and made freely available to other manufacturers, embedded safety as the brand's core promise.
