Volvo reached a major milestone this week, producing its 15,000,000th vehicles. The first Volvo — a ÖV4 “Open Car” — rolled of the production floor in 1927 and, fittingly, the 15,000,000th vehicle was a Volvo C70 convertible.
Volvo produced just 297 cars in 1927 and it took the automaker 23 years to reach the 100,000 unit mark — the amount of vehicles that Volvo now builds in three months.

Volvo has also since expanded its operations, which now include commercial trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine drives.
