Volvo 740 Hood

The Volvo 740 Hood is a durable and stylish Hood that protects the engine bay from weather and provides easy access for service. It can be lifted up by front hinges and a latch to provide room for the owner to access belts, fluids, and other essential components. In addition to defense and comfort, the panel operates as a visual feature; therefore, a clear, glossy sheet is applied to ensure that the Volvo is presentable on the road. There were two primary constructions which were noted on the series over the years. Early Volvo vehicles applied pressed steel, which is a hard material that does not dent easily but increases the weight. The subsequent ones might be made of aluminum, reducing the weight so as to enhance fuel efficiency and simplify the lifting of the panel. Regardless of which metal is applied, every Hood has inner crush zones that collapse in the event of a crash, which helps absorb energy before it reaches the passenger cell. Fiberglass appears infrequently, and the material is mentioned in general industry applications due to its ability to resist corrosion and possibly reduce the weight. Continuous layers of paint and primer seal the surface so that it is not subject to rust due to rain, snow, and road salts. The width of the panel when it opens is so great that the clearance around the fenders and the grille needs to remain accurate, and factory alignment marks are applied to make sure the fit is snug. With a clean, undamaged Hood, mechanical well-being remains intact and the boxy appearance that characterizes the iconic shape is retained by many lovers of Volvo 740.
