Is Volvo a public company?
There are two different companies named "Volvo." The publicly-traded company with ticker symbol VOLV-B is called Volvo Group, or AB Volvo.  They primarily build trucks, buses, and construction equipment. The company that makes the Volvo branded cars is called Volvo Cars.  It is a privately-held company currently owned by the Chinese Geely Holding Group. It was all one company until 1999, when AB Volvo sold off its car brand to Ford.  Because of the history, the two companies share the same logo.
