As Per Web Site:

It’s been over 75 years since the first Volvo truck was built back in 1928. Today Volvo is the second largest producer of heavy trucks, creating reliable transport solutions for clients all over the world.

 

On the site, you can learn about our approach to Safety, Quality and Environment, which are the true foundations of the solutions we offer. You can also find out if there’s a job for you at Volvo Trucks in our careers section. And while you’re here, don’t miss our digital giveaways.

 

DECADES OF DRIVING PROCESS

The history of the truck is a very exciting one, especially as the importance of truck transportation continues to grow.

 

When Volvo produced its first truck, back in the late 1920s, trucks were regarded as being just a complement to horse-drawn wagons, the railways and sea transportation. Today, the truck has become the main tool for transportation of goods, essential if modern society is to function properly.

 

Here is the history of our trucks, decade by decade. We would venture to suggest that, in many respects, it is also the story of how the modern truck has developed.

   

Press release:

 

Bilaspur team for Volvo Adventure Global Finals

Volvo in India has announced the finalists of the Volvo Adventure competition

(http://www.volvoadventure.org  2007 for youngsters in India. Prehari Team, of Bharat Mata School,

Bilaspur has won the first prize this year in a closely held competition among 55 schools all over the

Country. Their project ‘Dissolution of Traffic Chaos’ secured the highest scores amongst all the Indian

Projects and received accolades from the judges for their analysis, planning, action and the successful

 

Outcome. Commenting on the project, Prof Madhav Gadgil mentions, “This is a very good practical

Project”. This team will represent the country for the Global Finals in Sweden.



The winning team from Prehari School undertook a study to find a solution to the everyday traffic chaos in front of their school building, which was creating problems not only for them but also for the commuters who was using the road to go to the nearby railway and bus stations. After a lot of discussion and analysis, they provided a solution to regulate traffic. The result was very encouraging. There was no need to deploy police personnel at the point, unwanted crossing was eliminated, and VIP movements can be arranged without creating hassle to the commuters. Cycle-rickshaw and auto-rickshaw drivers started parking their vehicle in a regulated manner.

“Volvo initiated this Global environmental award to encourage young people to proactively participate in environmental education programs and gain International recognition through their local initiatives. It helps us reiterate our commitment to the environment and brings us closer to our vision of approaching problems in a co-operative manner between industry, society and various associations. This year’s winner focus on a common problem of traffic chaos in our cities and are proving that simple, but well-co-coordinated planning, can go a long way in streamlining traffic – which in turn has a profound impact on our environment and of course safety on the road too. I would like to congratulate the students from Prehari School and wish them luck at the global finals,” said Eric Leblanc, Managing Director, Volvo India.


Runners Up


Following the winning team, there are two joint runners up teams – ‘Waves’ from Cheriazheekal, Kerala and Team SLAM (Boston Matric School) from Chennai. Waves carried out a project involving water auditing of the area, an awareness campaign, setting up of a model, holding of Children's Parliament for Water and lobbying with the local self government and revival of the traditional vessel. Team SLAM project relates to inexpensive technology & methods utilized to recycle waste water discharged from various places such as hotels, canteens, slum areas etc. into which is readily usable - despite the scarcity for water in our city. The runners up will get a cash award each in support of their projects.


The Volvo Adventure Project

 

The finalists have been selected by eminent judges of global standing in the field of environment including Prof Madhav Gadgil in India, also a winner of Volvo Environment Prize.


The national winners get an all expenses paid trip to attend Volvo Adventure Conference in Sweden, present their environmental project and practical action to a jury of International experts, show their project to the world by publishing it on the Volvo Adventure Project/ Website and win a $10,000, $6,000 or $4,000 prize to fund the environmental project.


India contributed 55 projects this year for the competition.


The projects have been rated on four criteria: fact-finding and local research, planning of practical environmental action, describe vision and target for environmental improvement and involvement of youngsters in the project.

The Volvo Adventure Programme started back in 2002 and is now running for the sixth consecutive year. It is a joint project run by the Volvo Group, Volvo Car Corporation and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to recognize and reward practical environmental action being taken by young people in their local community. Volvo Adventure is open to young people around the world aged between 13 and 16 years. Teams must constitute between two to five young people with one adult as supervisor. The Volvo Adventure Competition culminates with the Volvo Young Environmentalists Awards.

Earlier winners from India


In 2006, the finalist from India TVS HSS School, Madurai won the third prize in the final competition for their project ‘Wastage of drinking water’.


In 2002 & 2003, the Volvo Young Environmentalists Award was bagged by the Indian Team. This is remarkable, considering that there were over 30 contesting teams from around the world, on both occasions. In 2002, the team representing India–Team Little Eco-Friends from St. Josephs Indian High School, Bangalore went on to win the Award and a grant of US$10,000 for their thoughtful and effective project on reducing the usage of poly-bags.

In 2004, a team representing National Public school won the award with an innovative project aimed at reducing pollution caused by burning leaves.
