Volvo History Volvo was originally started after Asaar Gabrielsson's wife died in an auto accident. He then vowed to produce the safest cars possible. Gabrielsson wished to build a vehicle more suited to the Scandinavian climate than were US imports, utilizing high-quality Swedish steel and bought-in components. The Volvo Group has its origin in 1927 when the first Volvo car rolled off the production line at the factory in Goteborg. Only 297 cars were built that year. The first truck, the Series 1, debuted in January 1928. In 1930, Volvo sold 639 cars, and the export of trucks to Europe started soon after; the cars did not become well-known outside Sweden until after World War Two. Volvo means "I roll" in Latin.
