VOLVO Aktiebolaget Volvo is a Swedish multinational manufacturing company. Although Volvo was established in 1915 the auto manufacturer considers itself officially founded on 14 April 1927, when the first car, the Volvo ÖV 4 series, affectionately known as “Jakob”, rolled out of the factory in Gothenburg. Presented in 1944, the Volvo PV444 passenger car only entered production in 1947 And was one of the most significant cars of the war era, the first true small car, a mixture of American flair and European size, it {ad}would become a resonant success and the best sold model throughout the 60s. The P1800 was Volvo’s first sports car, made in the early 60s and it was so popular … it was featured in the hit TV series “The Saint” starring Roger Moore…
The 90s a new model, the 850, a front-wheel drive, executive car which won numerous awards for handling and safety features. In later years the company searched for new marketing strategies and that’s how the sleeker S40 and V40 models were introduced in the factory’s production line. In September 2003 the new Volvo made its debut. This second generation Volvo S40 has gotten a modern styling with a clear Volvo heritage. Volvo S40 came with a wide range of engines, four cylinder and for the first time also five cylinder petrol engines for the medium sized Volvo cars.
