Gysinge Fire Museum

A Fire Museum is being built in Gysinge, Sweden. At the time of my visit it wasn’t really finished but it was opened with 45 cars/trucks from the present collection of about 65 at display. Although there wasn’t any Volvo C300 series firefighter in the museum the manager told me he had one C303 of site and showed me a nice C202 located in a closed barn next to the main building. Among all the nice trucks a few off-road capable could be found; Scania SBA111, Mercedes Unimog, Hägglunds BV206, Dodge Weapon Carrier, Willys CJ2 and a Land Rover 107 to mention a few. Visit recommended!

Volvo 8×8

admin — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:00:37 +0000

A video from the military or possibly Volvo evaluation/development of TGB20, an 8×8 version of the Volvo C300 series. It seems that the 8×8 had good terrain capabilities and is compared with Unimog and also the Volvo TGB11 and TGB13 . This version never made it into production, instead TGB20 became a longer version of the TGB13 (6×6)
