Which manufacturer produces Volvo?
2 Answers
Most Volvo models are produced in Swedish factories and the Ghent plant in Belgium. The domestic Volvo Asia Pacific's Chengdu plant began producing the S60L at the end of 2013, while the Changan Volvo from the Ford era is still producing the S80L. Additional information: 1. The difference between Volvo Car Corporation and Volvo Group: Volvo is divided into two entities: Volvo Car Corporation and Volvo Group. Volvo Cars was once part of Volvo Group's passenger car business. Volvo Car Corporation is now owned by Geely Holding, while Volvo Group operates independently. 2. Subsidiary factories under Volvo Group: Volvo Trucks (North American heavy trucks), Volvo Construction Equipment (Shanghai plant, Ingersoll Rand, SDLG, etc.), Volvo Buses (Sunwin, Xi’an Silver Bus, etc.), Volvo Aero (aviation services), Volvo Penta (mainly produces marine engine power systems), Volvo Financial Services, Mack Trucks, UD Trucks, and Renault Trucks.
As an automotive history enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by Volvo's story. Founded in Sweden in 1927 by two engineers with the original intention of manufacturing safe and reliable vehicles, it quickly became an industry benchmark. In 1999, the Ford Motor Group acquired Volvo, bringing it into the luxury car segment. However, by 2010, China's Geely Holding Group took over the brand, and now Geely is the primary owner. Post-acquisition, Volvo's design and core teams continue to operate from their Swedish base, ensuring safety technologies like the City Safety system remain uncompromised, while vehicles are produced in Gothenburg and new factories. Geely's management has supported Volvo's global expansion, particularly with manufacturing plants in China boosting sales growth. Last year's sales figures show its successful transition to electrification. If you ask about the current producer, it's Geely Holding Group, which maintains Volvo's Swedish heritage while infusing Chinese vitality.
