Our story

From the very outset Volvo Cars has been a brand for people who care about the world we live in and the people around us. We have made it our mission to make life easier, better and safer for everyone.

For life. We want to provide you with the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way.

Personal

With our deep understanding of human behaviour we develop products that understand, support and protect people in and around the car. Never forcing anyone to compromise on the way they want to live life.

Sustainable

We always aim for the highest standards of sustainability in mobility. This approach doesn’t mean compromise - it means creating smarter, more efficient products that people can be proud to choose.

Safe

In 1927, our founders stated that safety is the guiding principle behind everything we do. We stay committed to leadership in safety and a higher quality of life for people.
