VOLVO CONTINUES ITS ELECTRIC JOURNEY

Volve Bus has launched a new chassis for electric buses developed in conjunction with bodybuilder MCV. But what’s actually new, and is Volvo playing catch-up?

You know time is passing and that you’re of a certain age when you find yourself discussing Volvo chassis history and realise that the launch of the B58 chassis in the UK, which only seems like yesterday, was some 49 years ago.
