1991

The Volvo 850 GLT is presented as “a dynamic car with four world-firsts – one at the front, one at the back and two in the middle." They are the transverse, five-cylinder engine, the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), self-adjusting belt reels for the front seats, and the Delta-link rear suspension. Developing the Volvo 850 has been Volvo’s biggest-ever industrial project.

The Dutch state, Volvo Cars and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation set up a joint venture company, NedCar, to replace Volvo Car BV.

Volvo shows the first CFC-free (Chlorofluorocarbons) car.

The paint shop at Volvo's Torslanda plant is named "world's cleanest".
