The first Volvo rolled off the production line in Gothenburg way back in 1927 and since then, weve gone from strength to strength, creating world-changing innovations along the way.Were also a global brand with manufacturing in Sweden, Belgium and China.Volvo Car Group produces a premium range of cars that includes sedans, wagons, sportswagons, cross country cars and SUVs.Volvo Car Group (Volvo Cars) is owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding (Geely Holding) of China.

From the very first Volvo Cars V4 nicknamed Jakobweve been using the best quality materials to create cars that are highlyregarded not only for their durability, but for their outstanding quality.Some of our innovations have literally changed the worldever since NilsBohlin introduced the three-point safety belt in 1959, an estimated one million lives have been saved. And our Lambda Sond, which reduced harmful emissions by90%, now graces nearly every car in the world.

Its true that everything we do starts with people, and were very proud of the great personalities that have made Volvo Cars what it is, from our 1927 founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, through to designer Pelle Petterson, who designed the iconic P1800.When enthusiasts discovered what tough cars Volvos are, they started to go rallying, and in 1965, a PV544 won the grueling Safari Rally. Following up that great win, a 122S Amazon took victory in the Acropolis rally in the same year. And in 1994, Volvo Cars shocked the motorsport world by being the first ever manufacturer team to enter an estate racing car with the 850.With sophisticated suspension and sharp steering, complete with our new Drive-E engines that give you the same power from a four-cylinder engine as that of a six or eightbut with less fuel.PANORAMIC GLASS ROOFLift your spiritsto the skyOpen up the already spacious cabin with our optional panoramic glass roof, adding even more to the large-car feel of this compact model.The perfect accompaniment? Our interior illumination controls, with seven options to help you find the perfect mood for wherever youre headed.

This zippy little hatchback was designed to have funevery detail celebrates the drive, the driver and the road ahead.1959 three-point safety beltThere can be few men on the planet who have saved as many lives as Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin he introduced three-point seatbelts into the series production PV544. Since then, its estimated that over one million lives have been saved as a result of Volvo Cars waiving its patent rights so everybody could benefit.

1972 rearward-facing child safety seatRemember those early images of astronauts lying on their backs during take-off to even out the forces? Well, that was the basic principle behind our rearward-facing child seats, to spread the load and minimise injury. Then we innovated in 1976 with the child booster seat and again in 1990 with an integrated booster built right into the seat.

1976 lambda sondThe Lambda Sond was yet another contribution to a cleaner environment from Volvo Cars. A little device the size of a finger actually, its an oxygen-sensing probe meant that we reduced harmful exhaust emissions by 90%. And nearly 40 years on virtually every petrol-engine car in the world has a Lambda Sond fitted.

1991 side impact protectionAnother major step forward for safety came with our Side Impact Protection System, or SIPS. This was an integral part of the cars design and included a very strong structure and energy-absorbing materials on the inside, a cross member in the floor and even reinforced seats. We followed that up in 1994 with another world first, side-impact airbags.

1998 whiplash protection systemWhiplash is a painful and potentially expensive injury. Its also quite common, so we focused on reducing low-speed collision injuries. The system consists of a very robust headrest close to the occupants head and a clever seat design that gives uniform support in a collision. The result is that the risk of long-term medical problems are half what they were.

1998 inflatable curtainThe inflatable curtain was yet another leap forward in safety for Volvo Cars. Its concealed in the headliner and runs from the front to the rear of the cabin in the event of a side impact, the curtain inflates in just 25 thousandths of a second and can absorb 75% of the energy generated when the head is thrown sideways.

2002 roll-over protection system (ROPS)With the growing popularity of SUVs, we reckoned it was time to introduce our next safety innovation rollover protection. We tackled the problem from two directions. Firstly, we enhanced our SUVs stability with a sophisticated electronic Roll Stability Control system and secondly, we improved the cars safety structure with extremely tough boron steel in the roof.

2003 blind spot information system (BLIS)When drivers change lanes, a moments inattention can have catastrophic consequences if the driver hasnt spotted another car in the blind spot. So we decided that our cars would watch out for trouble, too our BLIS system uses cameras and radar to watch for vehicles alongside and offset to the rear of the Volvo. When a car enters the blind spot area, a warning lamp comes on near the door mirror, giving the driver ample time to react.

2008 city safetyHere are some amazing statistics 75% of all reported collisions take place at speeds of up to 30km/h and in 50% of rear-enders, the driver behind hasnt braked at all. We saw an opportunity to make a great difference our City Safety system uses laser detection to work out whether a collision with the car in front is likely, and if the driver doesnt brake, the car will do it. And the system works up to 50km/h.

2010 pedestrian detection with full auto brakeWe want our safety innovations to benefit those outside our cars, too. So weve developed a system using radar and cameras that warns a driver if somebody steps out in front of the car, and then brakes automatically if the driver fails to. Its a pretty huge step forwards, too; in the USA 11% of all traffic fatalities are pedestrians, rising to 14% in Europe and a truly astounding 26% in China.

Nobody dies in a new Volvo by 2020By pushing technological boundaries, we have reduced the risk of being hurt in an accident when in a Volvo by 50% since 2000. And were going much further, with our goal that nobody should die or be seriously injured in a new Volvo by the year 2020.

Our cars talk to each otherAt Volvo, we believe its good to talk. So much so that were working on technology that will let cars communicate with other vehicles over the mobile phone network. For example, they can share real-time data about icy or slippery patches of road, automatically warning other drivers of bad conditions.

Efficient and environmentally awareAnders Agfors, Senior Engineer, takes you on a journey through our Drive-E powertrains.

Simple, light, safeChild car seats are typically bulky, heavy and tedious to mount. Not so Volvos inflatable child seat concept. As simple as it is clever, its a lightweight, easy-to-pack, easy-to-carry inflatable child seat thats every bit as safe as a regular child seat. Even grandparents will be happy to carry it.

Breathe deep, breathe cleanAir quality is becoming a huge issue, particularly in congested urban areas thanks to our climate control system, the air inside your Volvo is often cleaner than the air outside. But we care as much about the air outside in the environment we all share, which is why we have developed low-emissions engines that contribute to cleaner air.

Powerful, compact, efficient.Our all-new Drive-E powertrains combine the low-fuel consumption and emissions of a four-cylinder engine with the handling and performance of a six or eight-cylinder. The result: a smooth, powerful ridewith less stops at the pump.

Better for you. Better for the earth.With our diesel plug-in hybrid and our Twin Engine petrol plug-in hybrid, your driving experience is your choice. Easily switch between driving modes to choose the power you need.

A breath of fresh airCleanZone is our approach to your vehicles interior environment. Volvo offers an Interior Air Quality System that checksincoming air for pollutants and closes the vents when necessary. An active carbon filter also protects you from harmful gases and unpleasant odoursso you can breathe in and out, happily and healthily.

Creating a sustainable futureAt Volvo, we dont do anything without considering our long-term responsibility to the environment. Thats why we create energy-efficient cars, keep cleaner factories, and even minimise our total environmental impact by using 85% recyclable materials on every car.
