The history of Volvo.

The Volvo 1800 was superseded by the 1800 ES sports coupe in 1971, while the 140 series was replaced by the modern 240/260 three years later.
In the USA, the Volvo 240 was designated as the standard for car safety. In
1972, Volvo acquired the car division of Dutch carmakers DAF and the Volvo
343 was introduced four years later.

1970 - Volvo's first Sponsorship

The Volvo Accident Research Team for cars was established. In addition to monitoring crash testing of complete cars and components in the laboratory,
Volvo researchers were now able to gather valuable information on real-life accidents. Field investigations were complemented by statistics. Since the team's foundation, all accident information is supplied to Volvo's design engineers for use in new car development.

Volvo car No. 2,000,000 was produced.

Volvo undertook its first major sports sponsorship - the Volvo Open in golf.

Fourteen years and 667,323 cars later, the Amazon was discontinued.

1971 - New Arrivals: P.G. Gyllenhammar and the 1800 ES

The 1800 ES was the big event of the year in cars. Although the front half was identical to its predecessor, the P1800, the rear half was new and resembled an estate to some extent. With a maximum output of 135 hp, the
1800 ES more than fulfilled buyers' expectations of sportiness. Although the model did become popular, it was discontinued only two years later. It is now a cult model which attracts prices many times higher than the original.

In 1971, the Volvo Group acquired its third president and CEO when Pehr
Gustaf Gyllenhammar, then just 36 years old, succeeded his father-in-law,
Gunnar Engellau. His first act was to offer seats on the board to company employees.
