Volvo means "I roll" in Latin, conjugated from "volvere", in relation to ball
bearing. The name Volvo was originally registered in May 1911 as a separate
company within SKF AB and as a registered trademark with the intention to
be used for a special series of ball bearing, but this idea was only used for a
short period of time and SKF decided to use "SKF" as the trademark for all its
bearing products.
In 1999, Volvo sold its car division Volvo Cars to Ford Motor Company for
$6.45 billion. The Volvo trademark was shared between Volvo AB, where it is
used on heavy vehicles, and the unit of Ford, where it was used on cars. In
2008, Ford decided to sell its interest in Volvo Cars; in 2010, Ford sold the
brand to the parent of Chinese motor manufacturer Geely Automobile for
$1.8 billion.[5]
