Despite the fact that the name "Volvo" still conjures up visions of soccer moms, Volvo should really only inspire images of burly truck drivers. The company is one of the world's largest makers of trucks, buses, and construction equipment. In North America, the company makes big rigs through its Volvo Trucks North America unit; Volvo also owns controlling interests in the well-known Mack Trucks brand in North America and Renault Trucks in Europe. Other products include marine (Volvo Penta) and industrial engines.  Overall Volvo has production facilities in nearly 20 countries.
