Volvo is one of the most iconic and best-known Swedish brands. Although a relatively small company, assembling fewer than 500,000 cars per year in recent times, it is arguably one of the best-known automotive companies world-wide. Its widespread recognition derives from its reputation for leading-edge safety technology and environmental compliance. It has traditionally been seen, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, and some continental European markets, as the supplier of the archetypal middle-class family car, especially its estate models.
It has had an eventful history, having moved from independence to being part of Ford's Premier Automotive Group (1999-2010) and onto Chinese ownership in the last four years. Geely paid USD1.8bn for Volvo. After a period of some uncertainty, especially regarding what the new owners, Geely, really wanted to do with the company, it is now in the midst of revamping its entire model line-up and expanding geographically. An investment programme worth around USD11bn is nearing completion.
