Gothenburg, Sweden - the place where Volvo is headquartered. The first car rolled out of the factory in Goteborg way back in 1927. The company was owned by Volvo AB untill 1999 when Ford bought the controlling rights for Volvo. The Swedish auto giant is now placed under Ford's Premier Automotive Group and produces safe, reliable and premium luxury cars. Volvo has entered India with two of its most formidable offerings - an executive luxury sedan, the S80 and the SUV, XC90.
