Volvo TR671-9

Produced from 1930 to 1935

The Volvo TR671 was introduced in March 1930 as Volvo’s first 7-seater purpose-built taxicab. These cars, designated TR671-679, differed primarily from the PV651 to PV655 models due to their longer wheelbases and fittings. The TR671-674 were based on the PV650-652 cars, while the TR675-679 were closely related to the PV653-655 cars. Apart from the TR676, which had a taller body, these cars generally looked like the standard models but where longer.
