High coast
Sweden has thousands of kilometres of coastline. But there’s one place where it's so dramatic and unique – and, in many ways, so uniquely Swedish – that it’s become world-famous. Welcome to the High Coast.

The making of the perfect drive
Volvo creates cars that are as good to drive as they are to look at. In order to achieve this, that means testing its cars to the limits – from the heat of the desert to the extreme cold of the Arctic Circle.

The race for perfection
In this article, we visit the Volvo Ocean Race Boatyard in Lisbon, Portugal. Here, we meet the team of experts responsible for repairing and re-fitting the entire fleet of Volvo Ocean 65 boats that will compete in the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. We describe each team member’s individual area of expertise and show how the team works together to ensure that each boat is repaired identically, on time and to the highest possible standard. Their expertise in different areas represents the same level of competence you find at a Volvo workshop. We also meet Swedish sailor Martin Strömberg, who won the 2011-12 edition of the race, to find out what a great service programme gives him as a sailor.
