That would be Volvo cars. tfa is about Volvo group, which is Swedish and makes among other things Volvo trucks. (Or HGVs as they might be called in Europe)

Are you thinking about Volvo cars? There are two Volvo companies, Volvo cars and Volvo group. This seems to be about Volvo group which makes commercial vehicles like trucks and busses.
