Perhaps, characters not to be able to recognize in your locale included
in Tieliikenne 5.0.csv and volvot.csv are included.  Try below.

--
$ env LC_ALL=C grep 'Volvo' Tieliikenne\ 5.0.csv | wc -l
266175

or

$ grep -a 'Volvo' Tieliikenne\ 5.0.csv | wc -l
266175

--
$ env LC_ALL=C grep N3 volvot.csv | wc -l
17822

or

$ grep -a N3 volvot.csv | wc -l
17822
