In 1959 Volvo invented the 3-point seat belts for cars and that set an industry standard that is followed to date. And it makes safe and sensible cars for safe and sensible people.The company which turned 90 this year has been selling cars in India for just 10 years. It is our core value, what we value the most and if there is anything that we don't compromise on, it is safety," Tom von Bonsdorff, the Managing Director of Volvo Auto India, says. "In 2016, Volvo sold 1600 cars in India but its largest market is China where it sold 90,930 cars in the same year. Interestingly India doesn't fall in the top-10 markets for the Swedish auto giant but the company remains bullish about its prospects here.
