What are the sales of Volvo trucks versus Volvo cars which one sells more?

This isn't a question that is really needed. 2 totally different companys, Volvo cars being made by FORD, and Volvo Trucks being made by Volvo Trucks, Formally WHITE GMC. And probly still in some way partially owned by the General (GM). Comparing Apples to watermelons, in 2 ways. Cars VS trucks, and 2 different companys. I would have to say the car models are probly sold more than the truck models. There are only 3.8 million trucks on the American highways. There are alot more people than that, that drive cars. But that's just a eduacted guess. Unless you are talking about Volvo Passenger cars VS Volvo Passenger Trucks. But you didnt specify that in your question. And that question I cant answer, but I can give a educated guess. I would have to say they are about even. You will have the Volvo loyalist that buys the cars, and the safety consious that buy there cars, and the people with thicker pocket books that buy the SUV's and can afford the lower milage. In the area I live in, its about 2/3 Volvo cars, to 1/3 Volvo trucks. The Volvo car is not made by Ford. The company is owned by Ford but the car is still built in Sweden by Volvo and Volvo is the sole owner of all patents. Saying Volvo is built by Ford is like saying Ford is built by Mazda. MAzda shares quite a few parts with Ford.The Volvo Truck division is in no way part of GM. Volvo truck acquired White GMC some time back. The third division of Volvo is the heavy equipment which like the truck division is solely owned by Volvo. A simple look around will tell you that there are far more Volvo cars than Volvo trucks on the road. The car division produces quite a few more cars worldwide. There are a number of models of Volvo cars that are not imported into the USA. They have some models in Europe that do not require a "thick" pocket books


What is the safest car?

Most People believe that the safest car is a Ford. I would say that a Ford and Volvo is within the top 5 for the safest automobile. One car that is consistently in the top spot however is the Ford Taurus and the Volvo C70. I believe ever since Ford bought Volvo, they have been using all of Volvo's safety plans. I work on cars for a living and when I see a car wreck and its a Taurus it always looks like the people inside weren't hurt. I would rank them in this order Volvo and Ford tied for first which is what the IIHSA data concludes, then Honda, Toyota, GM the rest out there just plain don't count A Honda Accord is pretty safe to, that's why it's expensive to buy. I have a Volvo and it's a very safe car, but once again, it is expensive.
