Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.
We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before.

The group 93440, Airbags & Steering wheels, is part of the Agile Release Train Seats & Safety within the unit Vehicle Tophat. The group’s responsibility is to develop all airbag applications and steering wheels and we are primarily working with Full-Service Suppliers (FSS) which normally have a global footprint.
