Corporate Citizenship Report
CORPORATE2002 CITIZENSHIP REPORT 3 FULFILLING THE DREAM OF PERSONAL FREEDOM ... 4 5 ... AND SHARING THE ROAD BETWEEN US 6 7 LIVING WITH DILEMMAS Making cars calls for a good sense of balance. This applies especially to a small carmaker which also aims to be a credible partner contributing to sustainable development. The dilemmas which we face often appear insoluble. And I am the first to admit that many of the solutions we adopt are compromises that may be acceptable to most people, but fail to satisfy all. We know, for example, that increasing numbers of car buyers are opting for SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) instead of ‘ordinary’ cars. However, the SUV is often associated with high fuel consumption and less-than-perfect safety standards. So are we to ignore the demands of the market and our customers for a Volvo SUV? Or do we take the initiative and offer an SUV meeting high safety and environmental standards? We want to offer our customers a competitive option which will enable them to use alterna- tive fuels. But how realistic is this when the supply infrastructure and refuelling facilities for these fuels are so limited? Are we to await political decisions and act in accordance with them? Or should we take the first step ourselves and establish partnerships to pursue societal develop- ment? Where do our responsibilities as a carmaker begin and end? All of our own research shows that small children travel most safely in a rear-facing child seat. However, for various reasons, customers in many of our markets prefer their children to be seated facing forward. -

Volvola Nouvelle S60
18 SEPTEMBRE 2019 Année modèle 2020 VOLVOLa nouvelle S60 VOLVOCARS.BE Nous avons voulu que l’interaction avec la toute nouvelle Volvo S60 soit aussi naturelle, intuitive et humaine que possible. Au cœur de cette stratégie se trouve “Sensus”, notre démarche signée Volvo consistant à vous permettre de communiquer instinctivement et de manière unique avec votre véhicule, mais aussi de vous connecter à l’univers numérique. De plus, nous avons doté la nouvelle S60 de la commande vocale pour les fonctions les plus courantes : sélectionnez tout simplement le menu souhaité et adressez-vous à votre nouvelle S60 comme si vous parliez à un humain. Ajoutez-y Volvo On Call, et la connexion entre vous et votre véhicule sera inédite, tout comme le sera celle entre votre véhicule et le monde extérieur. En 1927, nos fondateurs Assar Gabrielsson et Gustaf Larson ont décidé de produire des voitures solides qui soient de taille pour affronter les routes de campagne suédoises. Mais, construire des voitures qui ne soient que robustes, ça ne leur suffisait pas. Ils avaient une vision : « Les voitures sont conduites par des personnes. C’est pourquoi, chez Volvo, le principe directeur derrière tout ce que nous faisons est, et doit rester, la sécurité. » La nouvelle S60 est équipée de série d’un arsenal de technologies de sécurité intuitives. Lors de vos trajets quotidiens, elles vous assistent, elles garantissent votre protection en cas d’accident, mais sur tout, elles permettent d’éviter ou d’atténuer les collisions. Cette approche de la sécurité, nous l’avons baptisée Intelli Safe. Nous savons que les propriétaires de la nouvelle S60 sont des amoureux du volant, mais, sur des routes de plus en plus fréquentées, nul n’est à l’abri des erreurs des autres. -
Volvo Symbol
Volvo symbol When the decision was taken to start producing Volvo cars in August , financial backer Svenska Kullagerfabriken — SKF — reactivated a company that had been idle since for the purpose. The name of that company was VOLVO and it had been formed in for the manufacture and marketing of bearings for the automotive industry. Not only was the name ingeniously simple, it was also easy to pronounce in most places around the world and with a minimal risk of spelling errors. And best of it all was its immensely strong symbolic connection to the company's entire operations. In its first person singular form, the verb "volvere" becomes "volvo", i. Its Latin form gives rise to several derivations of the word that in one way or another, and in many languages too, describe a rotating movement, for instance, revolver. Everything that rolls When operations started, they were described as follows: "Ball bearings, roller bearings, machines, transmissions, automobiles, bicycles, rolling-stock, transportation devices, means of transport of all kinds and parts of and accessories for the aforementioned products". All those things were not realised but quite a few Volvo automobiles and other transportation devices have been produced over the years. Some other products that also carried the Volvo brand name are such oddities as producer-gas burners, camping trailers and office chairs. Ancient logotype At the same time as VOLVO was reactivated, the ancient chemical symbol for iron, a circle with an arrow pointing diagonally upwards to the right, was adopted as a logotype. This is one of the oldest and most common ideograms in Western culture and originally stood for the planet Mars in the Roman Empire. -
1. Cars, Volvo and the Environment
Do They Really Car(e)? The greening of the brand: the case of Volvo Cars in Sweden 1972 to 2014. Mattias Näsman Student Spring term 2015 Master of Social Science (One Year) in Economic History, 15 credits Advisor: Ann-Kristin Bergquist Examinator: Lena Andersson-Skog Department of Geography and Economic history The image on the front page is a painting made by Sune Envall in 1975, named PV in Stockholm and is in its entirety entitled to him and not to the author of this master thesis. Retrieved from http://www.photowall.se/photo-wallpaper/pv-in-stockholm-1, 18/6 -15. 1 Source: Teknikens värld 02:24. - I don’t even understand how I could’ve owned ‘ordinary’ cars before. Saab is the ride for me. Just look where the ignition is placed. Genius car! - A guy in my position is surely expected to drive an S-class Mercedes. I’ve chosen my own style and prioritize the practical qualities of the XC90. - Many believe that I’m an ordinary corporate fella, but when I’m finished at work I ac- tually put on my leathers and take the Harley for a spin. Do like 2 860 000 Swedes – you too become an individualist! 2 Abstract Denna magisteruppsats i ekonomisk historia har som syfte att utforska varför den svenska bil- parken är mer bränslekrävande än genomsnittet i Europa, samt att identifiera de historiska processer som påverkat formandet av den svenska bilparken. Tidigare miljöinriktad forskning inom ekonomisk historia har fokuserat på strukturomvandling och institutionell förändring inom industri- och hushållssektorn. Denna studie utforskar den privata transportsektorn ge- nom att studera Volvo som varit tongivande i att forma sammansättning av den svenska bil- parken. -
Volvo S 80 Combines Innovative Design, Leading Safety in World Terms and a High Technology Level
The Volvo S 80 combines innovative design, leading safety in world terms and a high technology level I 1993, R , V - , , , . The focus on core business was announced in the spring of 1994. At the same time, the target of selling more than 500,000 cars a year following the millennium shift was also set. One prerequisite when it came to this decision was an effective indus- trial structure to obtain economies of scale, which called for development and production based on a platform concept and front-wheel drive. This strategy will result in important benefits in the form of shorter lead times, more rational production and the opportunity to offer a more extensive product range. Nor was it any coincidence that Volvos commitment to growth began with a saloon, as these cars totally dominate the market. The Volvo S80 - a typical and, at the same time, totally new Volvo In all probability, the Volvo S80 is the most exciting saloon on the car market at the present time. No other car combines innovative design, leading safety in world terms and a high technology level to the same degree. The Volvo S80 is a car which is already heralding the start of a new millennium. It is very definitely a typical Volvo, especially when it comes to safety, quality, reliability and environmental concern. However, it is also just as much a new Volvo, when it comes to its emotional values, such as its int- erior and exterior design. "I . H, manufacturer W , V, ," H W. "A V S80. " The principal role of the Volvo S80 should be to act as a fantastic conquest car, which will attract large numbers of new customers in the family and post- family stages who like the saloon concept in general and the design of the Volvo S80 in particular. -

Volvo Xc40 Diplom Atic Sal E S
VOLVO XC40 DIPLOM ATIC SAL E S 29 June 2020 - Recommended prices Model year 2021 VOLVOCARS.BE/.LU We wanted interaction with the Volvo XC40 to be as natural, intuitive and human as possible. At the heart of this strategy is “Sensus”, our consistent Volvo signature approach that allows you to communicate instinctively and in a unique way with your vehicle, as well as connecting to the digital world. We have also equipped the XC40 with voice control for the most common functions: simply select the menu you want and address your XC40 as if you were speaking to a human. Add Volvo On Call for a unique connection between you and your vehicle, and between your vehicle and the world outside. In 1927, our founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson decided to produce large, solid cars capable of tackling Sweden’s country roads. But it wasn’t enough for them to produce cars that were simply robust. They had a vision: ‘Cars are driven by people. Which is why at Volvo, the key driver behind everything we do is, and must continue to be, safety.’ The XC40 is fitted as standard with a whole arsenal of intuitive safety technologies. These technologies help you during your everyday journeys, they guarantee to protect you if you’re involved in an accident, but most importantly, they help you to avoid collisions, or at least ensure they are less serious. We have christened this approach to safety IntelliSafe. We know that XC40-owners love getting behind the wheel, but as our roads become increasingly congested, there’s nothing to protect you from other people’s mistakes. -
Gamechanger China Verhoogt Regionale Economische Competitie Tussen Gent En Gotenburg
Gamechanger China verhoogt regionale economische competitie tussen Gent en Gotenburg De voortdurende veranderingen sinds de overname van Volvo Cars bewijst hoe belangrijk de gedeelde ruimte tussen haven en stad is Karel Van den Berghe Stellingen Volvo Cars Gent heeft sinds de Chinese overname grotere kansen op overleven, maar de Zweden zijn de regionale economische sterkte van Gent aan het verzwakken om zelf te kunnen overleven. Vlaanderen heeft steeds minder invloed op multinationals, maar de (onrechtstreekse) regionale verankering van economische netwerken is meer dan ooit de manier om dit toch te verwezenlijken. Economische verankering is mogelijk via de gedeelde ruimte tussen de urbane innovatie kenniseconomie en de maritieme grootschalige maak- en logistieke economie. Gedeelde ruimte in een havenstad slaat op ruimte voor spin-offs, multimodale logistiek, R&D instellingen, hoogwaardige leefomgeving, goede bereikbaarheid en de nabijheid van stad en universiteit.

De aanleiding tot de grote ongerustheid is de recente aankondiging van de Volvo Cars groep om een derde fabriek te bouwen in China, dit met het doel om zijn wereldwijde productie te matchen met de stijgende vraag naar auto’s van het merk Volvo. -
