Among the prototypes there are also experimental cars, such as the VESC which proceded the 240-series, the first electric car, the concept truck ECT (Volvo Environmental Concept Truck) as well as the concept bus ECB (Volvo Environmental Concept Bus).  Volvo Penta also exhibits its development of engines, from the early outboard engines to the current Aquamatic with Duoprop, and Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System). Volvo Aero shows among other things a radial engine, as well as the first jet engine used in The Swedish Air Force.

Besides vehicles, you will also find the work-table of the founders, Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson from the pioneer years. One part of the exhibition also shows how the company works when it comes to the environment and the importance of safety. Your exploration of the Volvo museum begins with a film about Volvos history – well worth your visit!
