Volvo
The history of development
The production of Volvo cars was started in 1927 by Sweden engineers. At first the production was based on the manufacturing facilities of the AB SKF bearing manufacturing plant. It all started with ÖV4 "Jakob" cabriolet, and during further 3 years the company had been progressing fast. By the beginning of the 30s the company had entered the truck market with Penta and 3 series. LV66- and LV68 truck models appeared in 1931 and became very popular soon. The first B1 series motor-coach was produced in 1934. Besides, by the middle of the 30s Volvo had been known as a premium-class manufacturer of motor-cars. By the 40s it had developed its first all-wheel-drive vehicle.
After WWII Volvo goes on describing itself as a manufacturer of power-sufficient and secure automotive engineering, it also introduces lightning system upgrades and innovations that concern fuel combustion. Nevertheless, engineers were working on the elaboration of engine performance upgrade. In 1970 the most powerful Volvo truck was produced - А889. The agricultural vehicles production department had also achieved success due to T650 tractor in both farming and construction versions. Besides, the variety of specialty vehicles was expanded with LM845 loader and SM463 timber loader. Owing to the extension of this segment, Volvo is able to merge all the rest of European excavator and wheel loader manufacturers.
By the beginning of the 2000s, the Volvo auto group had decided to give up producing motor cars, so the auto-group was sold, after what Volvo focused on heavy and powerful vehicles. At the present day the Volvo auto group is the 2nd largest in the world in the sphere of trucks production. There are 3 subdivisions in the group: Renault Trucks, Mack Trucks Inc (trucks manufacturer from the USA) and Volvo Trucks, actually.
