Volvo 780 - Like its predecessor, the 780 was designed and built by Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin, Italy. However, unlike the 262C, the 780 was not merely a two-door 760 with a "chop top" roof. Bertone gave the 780 its own distinctive shape which set it apart from the other models, yet was still identifiable as a Volvo. The car had a sleek, low profile, inheriting some of the styling of the other 700 series cars, but without many of the severe angles and sharp corners. The hood, trunk, and roof lines were all slightly lower than the standard 700 series profile, and the C-pillar was wider and had a more gradual slope down to the trunk. Headroom was improved over the 262C, thanks to Bertone’s mere 1 centimeter lowering of the roofline! Window frames all had black matte trim, and were accented with chrome. Chrome also highlighted the door handles, bumpers, and side mouldings.

Volvo Amazon - The Volvo Amazon is a Swedish-built car, the first one being rolled out of the factory in October 1956 as an alternative to the Volvo PV. Known for being a reliable car, of the 297,000 sold in Sweden, 35,000 are still registered and it's expected that 15,000 are still in use.

The model number of the Amazon is 120. 121 was the base model with a single carburetor 66bhp engine. The 122S introduced in 1959 was the performance model equipped with a dual carburetor 85bhp engine. It included the 130 (two door saloon), 120 (four door saloon) and 220 (4-door estate wagon) models.

In 1967 came the 123GT that was a 130 with high compression B18B engine, M41 gearbox, fully reclining seats, front fog and driving lights, alternator, fender mounted mirrors, special steering wheel, dash with a shelf on the passenger side, limited slip differential, and other cosmetic upgrades.

XC90 SUV - The XC90 comes in three models -- 2.5T, T6 and V8. The 2.5T comes with a power driver seat with memory, cloth upholstery, dual-zone climate control and a CD player. A premium package adds leather upholstery, a moonroof, a power passenger seat, an in-dash CD changer and an auto-dimming mirror. If you opt for the T6 trim, all of the above are included, but its premium package will also get you a Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system with 12 speakers, 18-inch wheels, a wood steering wheel and power-retractable side mirrors. The V8 model gets unique 18-inch wheels, body-colored door handles, twin exhaust pipes and most of the T6's optional equipment as standard. Individual options include a DVD-based navigation system, bi-HID headlamps, parking sensors and a DVD entertainment system.

V50 wagon - Two trims of the compact V50 wagon are available: the base 2.4i and the sporty T5. Standard items on the 2.4i include tinted windows; power-adjustable heated exterior rearview mirrors; manual climate control; a leather-wrapped steering wheel; and a six-speaker, AM/FM single-CD sound system. Step up to the T5 and you get an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, automatic climate control, a cargo-area 12-volt power outlet, aluminum trim and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Options include 17-inch twin alloy wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, xenon headlights, windshield and rear-window wiper de-icers and a power moonroof.

Volvo P1800 - Volvo P1800 is an automobile from Volvo. The project was started in 1957 because Volvo wanted a sports car. The man behind the project was an engineering consultant to Volvo, Helmer Petterson, who in the 1940s was responsible for the Volvo PV 444. The design work was done by Helmer´s son Per "Pelle" Petterson, who worked at Pietro Frua at that time. The Italian Carrozzeria Pietro Frua design firm (a subsidiary of Ghia) built the first three prototypes, designated: P958-X1, P958-X2 and P958-X3. The engine was the B18 with dual carburettors with the M40 gearbox. The engine produced 100 hp (75 kW).

The first public pictures were released in 1959. At the time of its launch, it was thought that because of its then-futuristic looks, the P1800 would have a long production life. It did have a long life, although stylistically the finned rear end would date rapidly.

Volvo S90 - Volvo 960 is an automobile from Volvo. It was the high-end version of Volvo 940 and the replacement for Volvo 760. Production ended in 1998, but the last two years were called Volvo S90/Volvo V90 instead.

The 1992-1994 Volvo 960's were built in Kalmar, Sweden. The very first Volvo 960 rolled off the assembly line on August 12, 1991 as a 1992 model. The 1995-1998 960s were built in Goteborg, Sweden. The very first 1995 960 rolled off the assembly line on June 27, 1994. All US cars were equipped with a Asin Warner automatic gearbox, European cars were also available with a manual gearbox, a strong new design that derived from the Volvo 850 gearbox.

Volvo 780 - Like its predecessor, the 780 was designed and built by Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin, Italy. However, unlike the 262C, the 780 was not merely a two-door 760 with a "chop top" roof.

Volvo 300 Series - The Volvo 300 series consisted of the Volvo 340 (initially badged 345 and 343, the last digit being the number of doors) and Volvo 360.

The Volvo 340 is a rear wheel drive hatchback and from the mid-1980s onwards saloon developed in The Netherlands shortly after Volvo took over the DAF car company. Volvo purchased a share in the DAF Company so that they could expand their range without the large (for a small car company) development costs of a new model. The Netherlands were also within the forerunner of the European Union which meant that Volvo could access EU markets more easily if the car was manufactured in the Netherlands.

First 3 door continuously variable transmission models were produced in 1976 with a 1397cc engine shared with Renault. Over the years the range expanded with five door versions available and a choice of manual as well as automatic transmission, 1721cc engines (also sourced from Renault) and a saloon 4 door version. The last models were produced in 1991.

The Volvo 340 was available in Deluxe (DL), Grande Luxe (GL) and Grand Luxe Executive (GLE) versions as well as towards the end of its life a version with no suffix. Other European countries had a diesel engine version. The UK was the cars biggest export market. Initially the cars were introduced as the 343 and 345 to denote whether they had 3 or 5 doors but from 1983 onwards they were all called the Volvo 340.

Volvo Sugga - Volvo Sugga (Sow) is the nickname for the PV800 series of automobiles from Volvo. The Sugga series includes the military 4WD Raptgb 915 (military name), TP21/P2104 (Volvo military designation), P2104 (Volvo civilian designation). It was powered by a 90 hp, 3.67 litre inline 6 mated to a Volvo E9 gearbox. 2WD versions included the PV821.

The model was introduced in 1938 with the taxis PV801 (with a glass division between the front and rear seat) and the PV802 (without the glass division). It was also available as a chassis with longer wheelbase called PV810. In 1940 a chassis called PV800 with the same wheelbase as the taxis was introduced. 1947 to 1948 a last series was made with updated engine called PV821 and PV822. A civilian version called PV831 (or "Disponent") was also built.

Volvo B9TL - Volvo B9TL is one of the latest low-floor double decker model of Volvo. It replaced B10TL, which is also known as Super Olympian. The B9TL chassis has a radiator mounted on the right side of the engine compartment, just similar to B7TL, and is available only in 3-axle format. It is equipped with Volvo D9A engine (300hp or 340hp) and ZF 6-speed gearbox.

As the Euro IV emission standard will be effective in the near future, the MD9 engine will replace the D9A unit as standard. Also, there will be a 2-axle version of B9TL which will replace the B7TL.

On 12 January 2005, the Transbus Enviro 500-bodied one was finally licensed as LU3721 with the fleet number AVBE1 (Air-conditioned Volvo B9TL Enviro-bodied). The other one with Wright bodywork was also licensed as LU3739 with the fleet number AVBW1 (Air-conditioned Volvo B9TL Wright-bodied). Both of them are allocated to Lai Chi Kok depot. Meanwhile in Singapore, SBS Transit, the island city-state largest public bus operator placed an order for 150 B9TL chassis. Delivered beginning autumn 2005, the chassis will be manufactured in Sweden while the body will be fitted in Singapore by ComfortDelgro Engineering. SBS Transit expects the delivery of all 150 buses by August 2006.
