Volvo Trucks (Volvo lastvagnar)

Volvo Trucks is one of the world's leading manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines. Originally founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, the brand has grown from a local industrial project into a global powerhouse in the transport industry. Today, Volvo Trucks maintains a significant manufacturing presence in Sweden but also operates major production facilities in Belgium, the United States, Brazil, India, and China to serve global markets.

While the Volvo Cars division was sold to Ford (and later Geely), the commercial vehicle operations remain under the control of the Swedish-based AB Volvo (Volvo Group). The group is a publicly traded entity with several large institutional investors. It remains a cornerstone of Swedish engineering, focusing on safety, environmental sustainability, and autonomous driving technology while operating as an independent corporate entity from the passenger car brand.
