Volvo means "rolling forward" in Latin. Founded in 1924, Volvo Car Company is the largest automobile enterprise in Northern Europe. It is also the largest industrial enterprise group in Sweden and one of the top 20 automobile companies in the world. Volvo is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The founders were Gustav Larsen and Arthur Gleason. Since its establishment, the company has been rolling forward towards the blueprint designed by the two founders. After more than 75 years of development, it has made remarkable achievements on a global scale. Volvo Cars enjoys a high reputation in the world for its excellent quality and performance, especially in terms of safety performance. Volvo Car Company has its own uniqueness. The American Institute of Highway Loss Information once selected the top ten safest cars, and Volvo topped the list. By 1937, the company's automobile output reached 10000, and then, its business gradually developed into various fields such as production materials, living materials and energy products. Become the largest company in northern Europe. Volvo Car Company consists of commercial vehicle department, truck department, bus department, spare parts department, automobile sales department and passenger car subsidiary. Volvo's products are all-encompassing, but the main product is cars. The company's factory in Karma is unique in the world. It is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its layout is like a clover pattern. Besides buses and trucks, Volvo Car Company is absolutely dominant in Northern Europe, and its cars are also quite famous in the world. Volvo Cars is famous for its simple appearance, luxurious and comfortable interior, and also for its good safety performance of extending statement, protecting statement and enjoying life. Volvo car company's commercial vehicle department, truck department, bus department, parts department, automobile sales department and passenger car subsidiary, etc. Volvo's products are all-encompassing, but the main product is cars. The company's Karma factory is unique in the world. It is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its layout is like a clover pattern. There are 25 workstations along the edge of clover, and each workstation is responsible for a part of the automobile assembly process. The car winds around the blades of grass on an automatic conveyor controlled by a microcomputer. When these 25 workstations were completed, a beautiful car was produced. The productivity and assembly quality of this factory are among the best in Volvo's factories. The characteristic of this factory is that 10-25 people are in charge of a work area. As long as the specified car is sent from one buffer to another within the specified time, everyone can make their own decisions on other work. Thereby liberating workers from mechanical reciprocating labor and stimulating labor enthusiasm. This production mode is another major change after Ford's assembly line production mode, which has aroused great concern in the world industry. In addition to buses and trucks, Volvo is the absolute overlord in Northern Europe, and its passenger cars are also world-famous. Volvo minibus is famous for its simple shape and luxurious and comfortable interior.

The Birth of Lobster Banquet The founding process of Volvo Car Company is legendary. Volvo, the most famous company in Sweden and the world, was born at a lobster dinner with traditional Swedish characteristics. That was on July 25th. 1924. Summer nights in northern Europe are still charming. In Stockholm, Sweden, which is known as the "beauty on the water", Gustav Larsen and Arthur Gerbrison successively walked into a restaurant called Sture Hof. These two Swedes, who love cars, ordered a lobster. Within a few hours of eating, they talked about their love and persistence in cars, and finally worked out a plan to create Volvo Car Company, which later became famous in the world. The development history of Volvo Car Company for many years is also full of legends and changes. However, it has always maintained the distinctive characteristics of Nordic enterprises, and it is precisely because of these characteristics that it has been different for many years. The first car-"Jokob" (Jacob) is in the Swedish calendar, and July 25th happens to be St. Jacob's Day. Therefore, in order to commemorate the birth of Volvo, the first model car produced by the company was named "Jacob OV4". This car with a 28 HP twin-cylinder engine left the factory on April 1927. When sales manager Johnson drove the car to an open space, a group of spectators applauded and cheered. At that time, the speed of cars was much slower than that of today's cars. It is said that the top speed can reach 90 kilometers per hour. But this is just the ideal speed. The Nordic car companies introduced convertibles to the market, which was also regarded as a bold move at that time. Therefore, the demand for Jacob cars is not large, and only 300 cars have been sold in a few years. The image of safety car born under the sound of collision. The founder of Volvo emphasized the safety of cars from the place where the company was founded. The first crash test of Volvo cars was conducted before the first car was sold. It was on 1926, the beautiful road in Gothenburg, Stockholm, that one of the nine OV4 prototypes was tested in a frontal collision on an American car. As a result, American imported cars have almost become a pile of scrap metal. Volvo cars have only a few impact marks and are generally safe. Since then, Volvo has established the image of a safe car. Volvo invests a lot of money in product research and development in safety every year, and constantly criticizes its achievements. This spirit of introspection makes Volvo lead the world in the research and development of automobile safety products, and has contributed many innovations and inventions to the automobile industry, such as safety carriages in the 1940s, three-point seat belts in the 1960s, and side collision protection systems in the 1990s. At first, the export quantity of Volvo cars was very limited. Only 24 and 27 cars were exported in 1928 and 1929 respectively. The first exporter was Finland, and later it entered Denmark, Cuba, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Morocco and Argentina. Volvo cars began to export to the United States in 1955 to compete with powerful American car brands, which was considered a very bold adventure at that time. It is not surprising that some Swedes lamented at that time: "This is tantamount to selling refrigerators in the Arctic." Having said that, PV444 has caused a sensation in the United States, and the United States has rapidly developed into the largest market for Volvo cars. Yaw! Turning the rudder and lowering the sail, people are running around. Hannibal Badain! Driven by the strong westerly wind, the Gothenburg moved to the submarine reef on the main channel. 1745 September 12, 900 meters from Efort. The impact is intense. The whole bow was crushed by rocks. The stern quickly sank into the water.

Debris is scattered on the seabed with an area of nearly 1000 square meter.

Autumn in Gothenburg 1742. Rida Hurst and Gothenburg began to prepare for the 1 1 expedition of the Swedish East India Company. The first royal franchise of the East India Company can only be retained for another two years. In July 1746, the new trading group will receive preferential treatment. 1743 On March 4th, 14-year-old Anders Sfeirensen rushed to the port with 12-year-old brother Yochem. They bypassed the lighthouse at the estuary and saw the port fleet with masts in the distance. Among them, the largest is the Gothenburg. The cargo capacity is 843 tons and the length is about 57 meters. It has three decks and three masts, and the highest mast is about 48 meters. His chief designer is Frederic Chapman, who is known as "the father of modern Swedish shipbuilding technology" and was built by Stockholm Shipyard. According to Jane Erik Nelson, the maiden voyage of the Gothenburg was the seventh expedition of the East India Company from 1739 to 1740. 1743, it will begin its third voyage. There are 14 1 crew on board, all of whom have sailing experience. The sailors hung 13 sails, and the intricate ropes on the deck were shaken by the cold north wind. This is a disaster trip.

Directly in front of the Gothenburg is the entrance to the Gerakel Strait in scarborough. This is a wide waterway between Denmark and Norway, and it is the mouth of the Baltic Sea. Captain Moran wrote in the log book: "Leave Gothenburg Port smoothly, goodbye, Sweden." 1743 On March17, the "Gothenburg" crossed the Gerakel Strait in scarborough and entered the vast North Sea on the fourth day after sailing. According to the plan, it will sail north, bypass Scotland and Ireland, and enter the Atlantic Ocean. Although the voyage directly across the English Channel is shorter, the wind direction is more suitable for sailing from the north. On the night of March 20th, the Gothenburg stranded on the Norwegian coast ushered in its first storm. Bad environment, poor sanitation, limited treatment, septicemia, cholera ... We stayed in Java for five months, and food and water were scarce before landing. We experienced storms, lightning and thunder, and terrible high temperatures. We are surrounded by a group of crocodiles every day, and the high temperature has killed 35 people. "Matt Homer recorded this arduous journey. He is the helmsman of the Gothenburg, and he is very excited to arrive in Guangzhou.

Augustus Taboto, the cargo supervisor, is the supreme commander on board. His job is to follow the ship to China and decide what to buy on the spot. The highest profit is silk, but the largest purchase is tea. According to the accurate arrival time, on September 8 1744, the "Gothenburg" arrived in Guangzhou and entered the Pearl River Channel. When returning home, the "Gothenburg" loaded 19 boxes of silk, 2,677 boxes of tea (366 tons), 100 tons of porcelain, 6,056 ingots of iron/tin alloy (133 tons) and other goods. Jan Eric Nelson said, "The boat is full, just like an egg." On September 6th, 1745, the "Gothenburg" entered Dover Port in England for replenishment and soon arrived in Swedish waters. On September 1745, 12, the sailors on the "Gothenburg" can already see Gothenburg. Gothenburg is 900 meters away from Evsburg, and hit Hannibal directly, the famous submarine reef area!

1984 65438+ Second Sunday in February. Vast Feld and some friends went deep into the cold and muddy Gothic River outside Gothenburg Port for the first time. They found a large number of porcelain fragments scattered at the bottom of the river, with an area as big as a football field. There is no data and literature to explain the cause of the accident of Gothenburg. It has been lying quietly at the bottom of the sea for more than 240 years.

1745, 1746, all the salvageable goods have been salvaged. 1745165438+1On October 28th, 30 tons of tea and 80 packages of silk brocade and various kinds of porcelain were auctioned. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/9th century, because the old oak of the hull turned black, it was suitable for making furniture. Some diving companies try to salvage these valuable hardwoods. From 1906 to 1909, James Keller Jr. salvaged at least 4,300 pieces of porcelain in a football field. Early salvage reports also mentioned that tea cups and saucers were "as thin as eggshells", but the number was small. From 65438 to 0986, Barrett Vast Feld and her husband organized excavation and analysis. In six years, * * * excavated 500,000 pieces of porcelain fragments weighing about 6 tons, including more than 500 pieces of complete porcelain.

"Many small local companies are enthusiastic, but most big companies are more cautious." 1992 10, Anders Vast Feld, the leader of the salvage work of "Gothenburg", put forward the idea of building a full-scale antique ship "Gothenburg". President Wittgren agreed to this proposal. From 65438 to 0993, Jan Eric Nelson became a member of the Executive Management Committee. Jan Eric Nelson said that this project is to achieve the multiple goals of industry, trade and culture. By building this ship, we have revived the almost-disappeared sail manufacturing technology and wood processing technology, and we promise not to hit the rocks again after returning home. "terranova" means "new land" in Latin. The antique ship "Gothenburg" was built at the old Efort pier in Gothenburg. The wharf was originally built on new land filled with soil along the river bank.

"Gothenburg" is anchored between several small islands in the mouth of the Pearl River-the tiger's mouth. The sailors opened the gun door and fresh air finally blew into the gun cabin. The crew has been waiting for a long time. They are all busy cleaning the deck. People are looking forward to the arrival of the King of Sweden and his wife.

On June 2, 2005, 10, the sky in Gothenburg was as blue as wash. Swedish antique merchant ship "Gothenburg" No.3 is about to set sail for China. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the police wearing green berets are standing guard and patrolling for Gothenburg. The Gothenburg has 20 professional crew members and 60 trainee crew members on this trip. The youngest trainee sailor, Swedish girl Susanna, is only 17 years old. She was only five years old when the Gothenburg began to be built. She was chosen to take part in windsurfing and surfing in middle school. There will be two captain rotations during the trip from Gothenburg to China. The first captain was responsible for going from Sweden to South Africa, and the second captain was responsible for going from South Africa to China. In the morning 1 1, thousands of Gothenburg citizens have gathered on the dock to see them off. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Gothenburg sailed to the mouth of the Gothic River.

On June 5438+1October 18, 2006, the crew had to sail out the sail with the highest foremast in a hurry. More unfortunately, the rising ropes of the two sail feet were forgotten and did not relax. This makes the combined load of yard and sail press on the front propeller, where the two hoisting ropes are tied. The consequences are quite unfortunate, resulting in direct damage to the ship. In order to reduce losses, the emergency repair work has been carried out for 1 1 hour. The Gothenburg left Cape Town, bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and sailed for port elizabeth. After two weeks' stay, it will go to fremantle on the west coast of Australia. This is the longest route in the whole voyage, with a total length of 4800 nautical miles. On February 17, Captain Peter Carlin arrived in Cape Town. If she arrives early, she can go to Hult Bay west of the Cape of Good Hope and salute each other. Tired of gunpowder, I decided to sound like a sunset salute. Passing through Cape Aguilar, the southernmost point of Africa, the Gothenburg entered the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean. The temperature of the sea water immediately began to rise, and within a few hours, the water temperature rose by 5 degrees Celsius. Peter Carlin must wear gold earrings. This is my promise to my son. It's really unforgettable to be able to wear earrings on the voyage through the "Storm Corner" in Agulus.

When leaving Tanjung Bulu Port in Jakarta, the pilot called two tugboats as big as the Gothenburg. July Sunday 1. 1 1: 26, the Gothenburg crossed the equator. Some crew members cut their hair horizontally, while others cut it very short. "They suddenly came. They are a group of people we are most afraid of after entering the Sunda Sea-'pirates'. Captain Peter Carlin wrote in his weekly diary. At 9 o'clock sharp, the "pirates" glared at people, all with swords, and they caught the captain! The crew must fight against pirates. The way to fight is to tug of war. " I firmly believe that my loyal crew can easily defeat pirates! "This is the case. The defeated pirates begged Peter Carlin's pity and asked if they could be a member of the ship. After adjusting their mood, Peter Carlin agreed to their request, but they could only do "coolies" on the boat. "

"At night, sit quietly on the balcony on one side of the deck. The tall sail tower was shrouded in the dim moonlight. If the engine is turned off, sail before the wind and Gothenburg can hear the sound of waves hitting the hull when breaking the waves. " Basic information
