I can remember reading Bertel Schmitt over at TTAC [1] years ago. You will find very few people in the world who can write well enough and have the level of car industry knowledge that he has. If I remember correctly, he started working at Volkswagen in the 1980s.

I can still remember an article about a Toyota factory [2] that is quite the opposite from this Volvo factory
