Volvo Truck

Volvo Trucks is one of the world's leading manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines, originating from Gothenburg, Sweden. The brand was established in 1928 when the first truck, the 'Series 1', rolled off the production line. Since its inception, Volvo Trucks has developed a global reputation for safety, environmental care, and technological innovation in the transport sector.

While Volvo Cars was sold to Ford (and later Geely), the Volvo Group (AB Volvo) has remained a separate entity, focusing on commercial vehicles. The company operates a vast international manufacturing network with major assembly plants located in Sweden, the United States, Brazil, and Belgium. They also have significant joint ventures and production facilities in markets like India and China to serve regional demands.

As of 2024 and beyond, the ultimate owner of the brand is AB Volvo, a publicly traded Swedish multinational. Although different investors hold shares—notably Geely Holding Group which maintains a significant stake—AB Volvo remains an independent commercial vehicle specialist headquartered in Sweden, overseeing various subsidiaries including Mack Trucks, Renault Trucks, and UD Trucks.
