A brief history of Volvo
Volvo's history dates back to 1927, when Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson founded the company as a mechanical workshop in Gothenburg, Sweden. The company's first product was a pedal bike called "Aktivist", but it soon moved on to building cars for other companies.
Volvo was forced to close down operations during World War II due to shortages of raw materials and labour. However, once peace was restored in 1945, the company resumed production with the launch of its PV444 model. The PV444 was an instant success and became Sweden's first mass-produced car.
The 1950s saw Volvo expand into new markets by launching trucks and buses alongside its car range.
In 1956, Volvo entered Formula One racing with its 116S model before withdrawing from competition in 1960 when it failed to win any races that year. In 1961 Volvo returned to F1 with a V8-engined car which ended up being used by a number of teams including Lotus and Cooper before being retired in 1967 after failing to score any points in three seasons of competition (1962-1964).
In 1968 Volvo introduced its first front-wheel drive model - the Amazon - followed by the 140 series in 1974 which featured four-wheel.
