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.

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings.

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.
