Volvo is a luxury car brand originating from Sweden, founded in Gothenburg in 1927. It entered the Chinese market in 1994 and was later acquired by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group for its car business in 2010. Volvo started with car manufacturing, with its first product being a convertible, and gradually expanded to trucks, buses, construction equipment, engines, and more. Volvo Models: The Volvo Group owns brands such as Volvo Trucks, Renault Trucks, Volvo Buses, Nova Buses, Prevost Buses, and Volvo Penta engines. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, it employs nearly 100,000 people and has production facilities in 18 countries and regions. Chinese Market: In 1994, Volvo established its first Chinese office in Beijing, bringing all its business operations into the Chinese market. These operations cover more than 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China, showing rapid development.
I remember researching this before, Volvo is genuinely a Nordic brand. It was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1927 and later acquired by China's Geely Group, but the design center and headquarters remain in Sweden. A friend of mine visited their factory in Gothenburg and said it still retains the distinctive minimalist Nordic design style, even the cutlery in the staff canteen has a Nordic touch. Their most iconic seatbelt technology was invented by Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin, and now the diagonal slash logo on the rear of their cars has become a symbol of Nordic design.
