Volvo Car Corp. Company Description
Volvo Car likes to play it safe. Traditionally a proponent of the safety-first approach to car building, Volvo'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 Volvos manufactured each year are built in Sweden and Belgium, but the company also builds cars in Malaysia 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. Ford has announced plans to sell Volvo Car.
