Economic globalization in a Volvo V70

This article http://www.dn.se/ekonomi/komponenter-fran-41-lander-blir-en-volvo is really more about the lack of auto parts as a result of the devastating earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster than about economic globalization but I think it also a very good example of how the production of cars is outsourced and highly globalized, 20 000 - 30 000 individual parts to build a Volvo V70 made in 41 different countries.
