Who Makes Volvo Cars?
Volvo was founded in 1927 in Sweden. Even then, safety was one of its core principles. It pioneered innovations including the three-point safety belt and the rearward-facing child seat. Volvo was acquired by Ford in 1999 to form part of Ford’s Premium Vehicle Group. In 2010, Volvo was purchased from Ford by Geely, a Chinese automotive company. Its vehicles are produced in China, Sweden, and at an American facility in Ridgeville, South Carolina.
