The Volvo Group was founded during the 1920s by Assar Barbrielsson and Gustaf Larsson. Volvo's flagship model, the Volvo OV4, rolled off production lines in early 1927. Featuring 4 gears, an open carriage and a top speed of 56mph, the OV4 was considered a groundbreaking vehicle in its time. Throughout the company's first year only 280 cars were produced. The following year Volvo moved into the world of commercial truck building with the highly popular Series 1. This vehicle attracted buyers from across the world and helped move Volvo into the global market. Presently, Volvo are enjoying success with models like the S60 saloon, the C30 Coupe and the V50 estate.
