Are your ABS and TRACS lights on? If they are not on do they come on at all with the key in position II before the car starts?
The speedometer signal is derived from the ABS module and they have a 100% failure rate. If you are good at soldering you can repair it yourself or you can send it out and have it repaired very inexpensively. One of our members provides the service and details are here:

If your ABS and TRACS lights are not on then you could have a bad electrical portion of the ignition switch. In Volvo terms it is an inexpensive part and it is a simple repair.
