Frequently asked questions

Why are Swedish cars associated with safety?
Volvo pioneered many modern safety features, including the three-point seatbelt, which it patented in 1959 and then made freely available to other manufacturers. Safety remains central to the Swedish automotive identity.
Does Sweden make supercars?
Yes — Koenigsegg, based in Ängelholm, is one of the world's most advanced hypercar manufacturers, repeatedly setting production-car speed and engineering records.
What Swedish brands are electric?
Polestar is a dedicated electric-performance brand spun out of the Volvo sphere, reflecting Sweden's strong push toward full electrification.
