Volvo Seat Covers
A personal accident was what triggered the production of Volvo cars. Volvo was originally started after Asaar Gabrielsson's wife died in an auto accident. He then vowed to produce the safest cars possible. SKF Sales Manager Assar Gabrielsson and Engineer Gustav Larson, after one year of preparations set up the car-manufacturing business in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg.
On January 28th, 1999 Volvo Group sold its business area Volvo Car Corporation to Ford Motor Company for US$6.45 billion. The focus of Volvo Group is now largely set on commercial vehicles. It is now the premium manufacturer and producer of luxury models ranging from SUVs, wagons, and sedans to compact executive sedans and coupes.
