Volvo Auto Body Parts Catalog

Volvo rules the world's automobile industry in terms of safety. It's the undisputed leader. Even though, of late, other big-wigs of the automotive industry have started fitting their automobiles with modern safety gadgets, they have yet to match Volvo. Volvo's safety technology seems to be unparalleled. With regards to safety innovations for cars it is the leader by a fair margin.

Ever since the 1960's, Volvo has been obsessed with the idea of safety. They then employed the "safety cage and crumple zone" concept in every car that rolled out from their assembly plant. "Safety cages" refer to strong materials used for those areas of the car where passengers are seated while the "crumple zones" are designed to absorb all the impact caused by collision or accidental bumps.

Volvo is also known for many other safety innovations such as padded dashboards, three-point seatbelts, the BLIS system and the WHIPS - the Whiplash Protection System. The BLIS system is a sensor system that warns the driver when a car comes in the vehicle's unsighted spot. Now as part of the Ford Motor Company, most of these safety features are being shared with a few Ford cars. Even then, one cannot deny or change the fact that Volvo is the pioneers in terms of safety applications of cars.

Volvo is originally a Swedish company founded in the city of Gothenburg in 1927. It was originally called AB Volvo and is a world-class manufacturer of buses, commercial vehicles, drive systems for industrial and marine uses, etc. Today, it has made its mark as the world's leading provider of transport solutions for commercial use. In 1998 Ford took over its automobile division and since then it has been a part of Ford's premiere automotive Group.

Volvo cars, present and classics, have been designed with a sophistication that inspires power and performance. Some of the most acclaimed Volvo cars are Volvo S80, Volvo S60, Volvo S40, Volvo V70, Volvo V50, Volvo XC90, and Volvo C70.
