Though it, by modern standards, was merely a truck, it was an immediate success and 500 units were sold before the summer. It had a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine rated at 28 hp (21 kW).〔(). - Volvo Trucks History. - Retrieved: 2012-01-09〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Volvo Trucks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
