Press releases 1997

1998 marks Volvo's 70th year in the truck-manufacturing business - an event to celebrate in style. And for a select few Volvo truck customers, there is yet another reason to celebrate: The Volvo FH12 Globetrotter XL-70

Deliveries of Volvo buses and bus chassis increased considerably during the first three quarters of 1997. Volvo has also enhanced its position as the leading brand in Europe, and increased its market share on a declining total market.

Volvo Truck Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation cooperate for the future

To coincide with the introduction of the C70, S70 and V70, Volvo is presenting two sophisticated technical innovations - a newly-developed Road and Traffic Information system (RTI) and a new audio system, the first in the world that can be supplied with Dolby Surround Pro Logic direct from the factory.
