Volvo was founded in 1927 and began manufacturing trucks in 1928. For close to 100 years, Volvo has been a leader in the heavy vehicle industry. The first model Volvo built was a four-cylinder gasoline-powered engine. Its loading capacity was one and a half tons. That first truck is now in the Volvo Museum in Gothenburg. From the day the Company was established through to the present day, the Volvo name stood for three fundamental principles, which can be evidenced in each and every one of the Company’s products: Quality, safety and environmental sustainability. The Volvo trucks are assembled in Gothenburg (Sweden) and Gent (Belgium). There are other assembly plants on all five continents. Volvo invests millions of dollars every year in development of new products. It is renowned for its innovativeness and for working tirelessly to achieve technological supremacy. Ever since 1928, Volvo’s Trucks Division has functioned as a global corporation, employing over 30,000 employees and making approximately 70,000 trucks per year, which are sold in over 130 countries worldwide.
