Volvo Cars is the largest automobile company in Northern Europe, the largest industrial conglomerate in Sweden, and one of the 20 largest automobile companies in the world. It was founded in 1927 by Gustav Larsson and Asael Gabrielsson.

That was still on July 25, 1924. The Nordic summer evening is still charming. In Stockholm, Sweden, known as the "Beauty on the Water", Gustav Larsson and Arthur Gbrisson walked into a restaurant called Sturehof. , these two Swedes who love cars ordered a plate of lobster. Within a few hours of the meal, they talked about their love and dedication to cars, and finally formulated a plan to create the Volvo car company that later became world-famous.

It was only thanks to the joint efforts of Arthur Gribrisson himself and the SKF Bearing Company that the Swedish nationality of the company was finally managed to be preserved in the hours before the unwelcome American guests arrived at the port of Gothenburg. In September of the same year, Volvo Car Company began to make profits for the first time, and the company has since gradually developed and grown. The design was once influenced by the United States. In the 1930s, the design inspiration of Volvo cars mainly came from the United States. Swedish engineering and technical personnel who had worked with American automobile companies in Detroit and were well-trained returned to their native Sweden and eventually joined Volvo. They injected the technical knowledge and design concepts of American cars into Volvo. The PV36 sedan was launched in 1935. This moving "carioca" sedan has innovative technologies such as a novel and bold rounded shape and independent wheel suspension. It is one of the classic models in the history of Volvo. In the 1940s, PV800 cars were mostly used as taxis on the streets. The car is large and comfortable and is often used to transport pregnant women to the hospital. To this day, we can see some people in Sweden who were born in Volvo cars.

In the 1950s, volvo became A veritable synonym for safety. In 1959, Volvo launched the three-point seat belt initiated by Bokharin, which has since changed the entire automotive world. The three-point seat belt is one of the inventions that has made the greatest contribution to saving lives in human history.

It’s no surprise that one of Volvo’s later sedans was adopted by a “saint.” The p1800 sports car launched in 1958 was full of dynamics and elegance, so the famous film actor Roger Moore chose this car when he starred in the British TV series "The Saint". As a practical Swedish company, Volvo will never let these features stop at this sedan. After that, it launched this sedan, and then it launched a sports station wagon of this model - p1800. es. The rear end design on the p1800 es has appeared again and again in several subsequent cars, including the volvo v40 sedan and the recent volvo safety concept car.
