Volvo Heritage department closed
Since January 1st 2006 the department of Heritage Marketing is closed as a result of a senior management decision. We strongly recommend a future management decision which also includes history ... otherwise we will miss the link between Volvo in Sweden and their drivers and fans of vintage Volvos around the world.

The Volvo 140-260 book is released.
The book is called »Sicherheit aus Schwedenstahl« and is just released by Autovision-Verlag. It is specialized on the Volvo 140-260 range. We recommend it strongly in spite of several mistakes, but Volvos history isn't really easy to (dis)cover ;-)

Volvo Heritage is online
75 years of Volvo with all cars and many wonderful pictures are visible now via http://vcc.volvocars.se/heritage/. The visitors can explore classic Volvo facts (but the secrets of the D-Jetronic will still be a mystery, of course). Registered members have additional access to an event calendar, to a world wide club list and to the "secret" address of GCP. That is nothing new at all, but this content is from Volvo itself – and this is the real step into the future of Volvo's history.
