The then state owned Swedish railways (=SJ) indeed ordered a fair amount of them on Volvo (B58) chassis, in order to transport passengers to areas where the trains couldn't reach, but I believe that was not in the beginning of the production run. Instead it might be a DAF Link to "en.wheelsage.org" or perhaps a Fiat, both common as chassis for Van Hool. -- Last edit: 2021-12-12 13:31:59
