Modifications to the contents of this report are expressly prohibited.) ii Summary The high technology cars of today contain an enormous amount of advanced electronic equipment. To ensure the function of the electrical system these must be grounded in the body of the car. The grounding is made possible by welding unthreaded nuts into the body of the car. If the grounding doesn’t work as it should in the car, the strangest defects can occur and they can be very hard to locate. To maintain the functionality of the entire electronic system it’s of the highest importance to get an adequate grounding capability on the grounding element. The project is like an element in VCBC:s work to meet Volvos goal: “To be No. 1 in customer satisfaction in the premium segment of the car industry.” [7] The purpose is to increase the communication and widen the individually understanding in all segments within the company. The most important task is, and will always be, to deliver a car without any ground related problems to the costumers even in the future. Measurements and physical tests have been done and the results have been documented in a thorough and clear way so that it will be easy to track and identify the actual grounding connections. The work has been of investigating character and included information retrieval, information sorting and information documentation. The result of our work is going to be a great help regarding possible changes and investigations of the cars electrical system. (*) (*) : Consideration is taken to valid secrecy agreement. iii iv Sammanfattning Dagens högteknologiska bilar innehåller en ofantlig mängd avancerad elektronik. Denna elektronik måste jordas i karossen för att elsystemet skall fungera. Jordningen sker med hjälp av ogängade muttrar som svetsas fast i karossen. Om jordningen inte fungerar som den skall på en bil så kan de mest märkvärdiga fel uppkomma och dessa är mycket svåra att lokalisera. För att bibehålla funktionaliteten på samtliga elektroniska system är det av högsta betydelse att få fullgod jordningsförmåga hos jordningselementen. Projektet sker som ett led i VCBCs arbete att tillgodose Volvos mål: "Att vara främst inom kundtillfredställelse i premiumsegmentet." [7] Syftet är att utöka kommunikationen och vidga den individuella förståelsen i samtliga led inom företaget, och ytterst att leverera en bil till kund som är fri ifrån jordfel även i fortsättningen. Projektet har resulterat i en sammanfattning av gällande mål. Mätning har skett och resultaten har dokumenterats för att på ett överskådligt sätt kunna spåra och identifiera de aktuella jordningsförbanden. Arbetet har varit av utredande karaktär och inneburit informationssökning, informationssortering och informationsdokumentation. Resultatet av vårt arbete kommer att vara till stor hjälp vid eventuella gällande och kommande förändringar och undersökningar av bilens elsystem. (*) (*): Hänsyn är tagen till gällande sekretessavtal. v vi Preface The following work is made as a compulsory part of the education on the programme Product Development at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, BTH (Blekinge Institute of Technology). We would like to thank all the employees at VCBC in Olofström for shown interest and help regarding our work. We want to send a specific thanks to Mrs. Lea Bengtsson who has been our supervisor during the work and Mr. Anders Boking, head of the department for process development.

Same sentence. Introducing the first Volvo to freely inspire the use of adjectives and superlatives rarely mentioned by those not on the payroll. A master- work of automotive design, the all-new Volvo S60 is so beautiful, we suppose pedestrians could be stunned when they first see it. But make no mistake; this is a driver’s car. It moves like no Volvo before. Too sexy to be the safest car ever? We can live with that. 1 S60_MY12_US.indd 1 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: 2 S60_MY12_US.indd 2 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: Downright shameless with the affection it shows for curves. Who knew an anti-skid system could be so pro-fun? The advanced chassis developed for the all-new Volvo S60 makes it clear: this is no ordinary Volvo. And utilizing new innovative technology, we have further refined Volvo’s stability enhancing DSTC system to help drivers better realize their intentions – with more assertion, efficiency and dare we say, more pure driving enjoyment. Advanced Stability Control, for example, is a new function that monitors the car’s behavior with high precision to further enhance stability in sharp cornering and rapid lateral movements. Corner traction control through Torque Vectoring is another new feature that helps reduce understeer in fast bends. It also improves acceleration when trying to get up-to-speed while merging with faster moving traffic on a main road.

  • Ringhalsveteranernas Höstresa Till Volvo Och Operan I Göteborg. Dagens Program Besök På Volvo Museum
    Ringhalsveteranerna Höstresan 2015-09-09 Sidan 1av 4 Ringhalsveteranernas höstresa till Volvo och operan i Göteborg. Till årets höstresa hade 44 deltagare anmält sitt intresse, varav 37 Veteraner och 8 respektive. Bussresan startade kl. 07,30 från järnvägsstationen i Varberg och sedan vidare mot Göteborg via Bua, Frillesås, Kungsbacka och Mölndal där de sista deltagarna hämtades upp. Resan arrangerades av S&S Resor i Falkenberg med den påläste guiden och reseledare Henric Bulten. Henric gav oss alla en synnerligen omfattande bakgrund om alla de platser och händelser som genom åren har inträffat på alla de platser vi passerade med vår buss. Dagens program Dagens program började med en god frukostmacka och en mugg med kaffe på Hotell Scandic i Mölndal. Därefter ett besök på Volvos museum i Arendal på Hisingen. Sedan ett besök på Göteborgs Operan för lunch innan en guidad rundtur ”bakom scenen” i Operahuset. En snabbis till Ramberget och utsikten över Göteborg blev plötsligt inplanerad då vi hade gott om tid innan rundturen med ”Blå tåget” på Volvos bilfabrik skulle starta. Volvo (Jag rullar än!) År 1924 bestämde sig de två grundarna Gustaf Larson och Assar Gabrielsson, för att konstruera en svensk bil. Det officiella datumet för Volvos grundande är den 14 april 1927, då den första bilen lämnade monteringslinjen i fabriken på Hisingen i Göteborg. Besök på Volvo museum Ett besök på Volvo museum är en riktig nostalgitripp för alla oss som har hunnit upp i pensionsåldern! Alla de gamla välkända och okända Volvo bilarna fanns uppställda på muséet. Volvo museum invigdes 1995 och drivs gemensamt av AB Volvo och Volvo Cars.

Arbetet har genomförts på Volvo Cars i Torslanda under våren 2019. Vi skulle vilja tacka våra handledare på Volvo Personvagnar, Claes Annerstedt, Thomas Almen, Christer Bergström och vår examinator Göran Gustafsson på Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap på Chalmers. SAMMANDRAG Detta projekt har utförts på Volvo Personvagnar, Strategy & Innovations, Vehicle hardware i Torslanda, Göteborg, med målet att ta fram ett underlag för hur en konstruktion av ett biltak för Volvo Personvagnar med ökad takhöjd skulle kunna utföras. Syftet med den ökade takhöjden är att skapa rymlighet i bilkupén genom att öka kupéutrymmet. Syftet är också att öka rörligheten för passagerarna inne i kupén. Volvo Personvagnar önskar att detta förhöjda biltak ska kunna eftermonteras utanför deras befintliga fabrik då höjdrestriktioner omöjliggör sedvanlig montering. De två resulterande koncepten som togs fram under arbetets gång är båda konstruerade i ett kompositmaterial där olika material samarbetar för att ge särskilda egenskaper.

Geographical aspects of changing strategies in automotive subcontracting relationships: the case of domestic suppliers to Volvo Torslanda assembly plant. Department of Human and Economic Geography, School of Economics and Commercial Law, University of Gšteborg. Series B, No 97. 285 pages. ISBN 91Ð86472Ð33ÐX. This study analyses the significance of geographical proximity in the restructuring process of a domestic subcontractor system in the Swedish automotive industry, using the Volvo Torslanda assembly plant as a case. The focus is on: i) the organisation of buyer-subcontractor relationships, ii) time-related delivery strategies, iii) the significance of geographical proximity. The findings provide an empirical contribution to the general understanding of the geographical buyer- subcontractor relationships in the automotive industry. The case covers the development of the domestic subcontractor system in the 1990's and is subdivided into three parts: i) the 40 most important domestic subcontractors in 1996/97, ii) the development of the Arendal supplier-park project 1997-1998, and iii) an analysis of Hydro- Raufoss Automotive Plastics AB, a Norwegian subcontractor, 1993-1998.

  • HLDI Bulletin | Vol 32, No
    Highway Loss Data Institute Bulletin Vol. 32, No. 1 : April 2015 Volvo City Safety loss experience – a long-term update This Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) report updates two prior bulletins on the Volvo City Safety system. Benefits have been consistent across all three reports, and for the first time pooled estimates have been calculated that combine the XC60 and S60 results. This com- bined, or pooled, estimate is the best estimate of a general effect for City Safety. The earlier HLDI studies reported that Volvo XC60 and S60 models with City Safety, a low-speed collision avoidance technology, had lower loss frequencies for property damage liability, bodily injury liability, and collision coverages than similar models without such a system. In the latest study, updated results for the XC60 and S60 confirm that City Safety is reducing losses substantially. Property damage liability loss frequency was estimated to be 14 percent lower for the XC60 than for relevant control vehicles and 15 percent lower for the S60. Collision claim frequencies were reduced by an estimated 21 percent for the XC60 and 12 percent for the S60. Both vehicles also showed reductions in collision claim severity and overall losses for collision and property damage liability. Under bodily injury liability, claim frequency was 28 percent lower for the XC60 and 31 percent lower for the S60. This report also examines the effect City Safety is having on personal injury protection (PIP) and medical payment (MedPay) coverages. Under PIP, claim frequency was 21 percent lower for the XC60 and 23 percent lower for the S60.
