Volvo Car Corp. Company Description
Volvo Car Corporation (VCC) likes to play it safe. Traditionally a proponent of the safety-first approach to car building, VCC's current lineup appeals as much to a driver's sense of style as to his or her sense of self-preservation. Models include the S Range, V Range, XC Range, and C Range. The bulk of the 450,000 Volvos manufactured each year are built in Sweden and Belgium, but the company also builds a few cars in Thailand, Malaysia, South Africa, and China. Volvos are sold in more than 100 markets through a network of some 2,300 dealers. Ford Motor purchased the Volvo automotive brand from Swedish truck maker AB Volvo in 1999.
