Volvo passenger cars. In 1965 a new manufacturing plant located in Gent started the
production of the company’s passenger
vehicles, which is now even larger than in Sweden. Since 1991 the 850 sedan and station
wagon models have been built, replaced with the S70 sedan and the V70 estate in
1996. In 2000 their second
generation appeared. From the year 2004, the small Volvo S40 and V50 models have been
exclusively manufactured in Belgium, with the C30 scheduled for 2006.
