Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.

You’ve probably heard about our visionary engineer Nils Bohlin who revolutionized safety with the introduction of the three-point safety belt back in 1959, and how we chose to not patent our technology, prioritizing universal safety over profit. From the very outset Volvo Cars has been driven by a commitment to making cars for people who care about other people, who care about the world we live in and the people around us. Our mission isn’t just about building cars; we strive to engineer the safest vehicles on the road, protecting what is important. You and the planet we live in.
