History

Volvo is a Swedish car brand that has been around since 1927. The company was founded by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustav Larson, two engineers who wanted to build a reliable car that would withstand the rigors of Sweden's rough roads and cold climate. Volvo cars quickly gained a reputation for being reliable, safe and durable. Over the years, Volvo has maintained its commitment to safety by introducing innovations such as the three-point safety belt (in 1959) and the side-impact airbag (in 1991). Today, Volvo is one of the most popular car brands in the world and is known for its luxury vehicles, performance cars, and SUVs.
