Hello again, truck lovers! Today we would like to devote an article to Volvo, one of the giants in the world of cargo and passenger transportation.

Volvo Group (Latin for "I roll") is a Swedish multinational manufacturing company based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In Euro Truck Simulator 2, both Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks (also part of Volvo Group) are featured.

In American Truck Simulator, both Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks (also part of Volvo Group) are featured.

With the Scandinavia DLC, both the Volvo trucks factory and another company VPC (selling Volvo cars) are available to offer various freight jobs that are west of the city of Göteborg.

''An automobile is made by and for people. The basic principle for all manufacturing is and must remain safety.''

Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, founders of Volvo 1927

In our core values, safety is complemented by quality and environmental care. Find out more about how we've expanded these concepts from the vision that grounds our company.

Volvo Trucks was a separate company within Volvo. The Volvo Group was reorganised on 1 January 2012 and as a part of the process, Volvo Trucks ceased to be a separate company and was instead incorporated into Volvo Group Trucks along Volvo's other truck operations, as Renault Trucks and Mack Trucks.

The first Volvo truck rolled off the production lines in 1928, and in 2016 Volvo Trucks employed more than 52,000 people around the world.

With global headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, Volvo manufactures and assembles its trucks in eight wholly owned assembly plants and nine factories owned by local interests.

Volvo Trucks produces and sells over 190,000 units annually.

When Volvo manufactured its first automobiles in 1927, the first truck was already on the drawing table.

n early 1928, the LV series 1 was presented to the public.

Though by modern standards it was merely a truck, it was an immediate success and 500 units were sold before the summer.

It had a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine rated at 28 hp (21 kW).

Volvo Trucks worldwide :

Volvo cabs are manufactured in the north of Sweden in Umeå and in Ghent, Belgium, while the engines are made in the central town of Skövde.

Among some smaller facilities, Volvo has assembly plants in Sweden (Gothenburg – also the Head Office), Belgium, USA, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, China, India and Russia.

Some of the smaller factories are jointly owned.

Its main parts distribution centre is located in Ghent, Belgium.

The sales side, with their corresponding offices and dealers, is split into seven sales areas – Latin America, North America, Europe North, Europe South, Africa/Middle East, and Asia/Oceania.
