DiVolvo S.A. - short for Distribuidora Volvo S.A. - was a car manufacturer and dealer from Arica in Chile.
The enterprise was founded in 1959 by Eduardo Averill.[1][2] With some support from Volvo it began to build an assembly site in Arica.[1] There might also have been some support by Det Norske Veritas.[3] After completion of the site in 1962 there have been built 2956 Volvo 122 S until 1967. The production was based on CKD kits.[2] All of them were four-door sedans.[1] Common or typical features were a front bench seat and steering column gear lever.[1] Some of these cars were also used by the Chilean Police.[1] Some PV544 and P1800 were also assembled at DiVolvo.[1][3]
DiVolvo also was a dealer, offered maintenance services and served as training facility for Volvo in Southern America.[1]
