 The subsequent Volvo 440/460/480 and the first generation S40/V40 models were also made at the Nedcar plant, until Volvo sold its interest to Mitsubishi Motors in 2001, marking the end of Volvo's involvement with the former DAF plant after almost thirty years.Today, the plant is now owned by VDL Nedcar, and contract manufactures certain Mini models for BMW.For a small company, DAF made a huge number of prototypes.
