Naming
To name their engines, Volvo has used:
- 1955–1985 — four or five characters
- 1985–1994 — five or six characters
- 1993–1994 — six to eight characters
Generally, the following naming scheme is used:
- Either B for Bensin (petrol/gasoline engines) or D for diesel engines
- Two digits for engine displacement (moved after number of cylinders from 1993)
- One for valves per cylinder (not found before 1985)
- One to three characters for other engine features

Famous quotes containing the word naming:
“Husband,
who am I to reject the naming of foods
in a time of famine?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“See, see where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!—
Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? ‘T is gone; and see where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!—
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
