The Volvo Group - Moving the world

Without the products and services of the Volvo Group there can be no modern society like we know it. Like a blood flow, our trucks, buses, engines, construction equipment and air craft components are involved in many of the functions that most of us rely on every day.

Around the world, round the clock, the Volvo Group’s products are busy keeping society running smoothly. Remove the Volvo Group’s products and society will stop running.

One in seven meals eaten in Europe reaches the consumers thanks to the 800,000 trucks from the Volvo Group rolling along the motorways, roads and streets of the continent.

If all the Volvo buses in the world started at the same time, they would be able to transport more than 10 million people.

Every day, 300,000 construction machines from the Volvo Group work on constructing roads and buildings or help to run mines, forestry operations and farms.

Throughout the world there are more than 200,000 industrial engines from Volvo Penta, helping among other things to ensure power supply for hospitals, airports and irrigation systems.

Every year, 2 billion people fly all over the planet. In 2009, Volvo Aero supplied components to more than 90 per cent of all the world’s large civilian aircraft engines.

With the 2 million tonnes of rubbish that Mack Trucks’ refuse vehicles transport every week in the USA, it would be possible to build a column of filled refuse bins reaching all the way to the moon.

80 per cent of all the snow that falls on Japan’s roads is swept away using vehicles from UD Trucks.
