Volvo, for instance, began rolling out new designs in 2012, so it could be at a disadvantage if competitors introduce more up-to-date models in the near future.
Wait guys, we just brought out these shitty unsafe trucks recently, we can't be making safe ones already! We'll take 10 years, thank you very much.
Seriously, fuck them. They delay improved safety designs for trucks (with extremely mild changes, nonetheless) and then tell people to spray themselves with reflective plastic.
In retrospect, the gun analogy was way too tame. Gun manufacturers don't want kids killed, but Volvo is pushing for more of them to be run over.
- vomitcuddle 11y agoVolvo Car Corporation and Volvo Trucks are owned by different companies
- revelation 11y agoYou say this as if the particular organizational structure of a company has any bearing on the matter at hand. I think that's a ridiculous notion. If you're happy with your Volvo, feel free to replace that make with any other you don't like. All the same, really.
- tormeh 11y agoLook, they're not the same thing. Volvo is a Swedish corporation that makes heavy vehicles and their engines, e.g. buses, trucks, construction equipment and ship engines. Volvo Car Corporation is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. They used to be owned by Ford or something. It's totally their fault that it's confusing, though, I'll give you that, but you're still wrong.
