the auto manufacturer considers itself officially founded on 14 April 1927, when the first car, the Volvo V

4 series, affectionately known as Jakob, rolled out of the factory in Hisingen, Gothenburg.

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.
