This brand name and automobile manufacturer's name means *I roll* in Latin, and yes, it refers to Volvo. Volvo has been in the automotive industry for over seventy five years already and each and every design of Volvo vehicles has been guided by the company's concern for the well-being of people, as well as their safety. And through the years, this commitment to safety and well-being has grown and developed into Volvo's three core values which are safety, quality, and environmental care.

One of the vehicles bearing the Volvo name, as well as the three Volvo core values, is the Volvo V40 which has been considered and measured to be the one of the safest wagons in its own class.
