History
editVolvo introduced the LV71-series in the spring of 1932. The truck was built on two differentwheelbases:3.4 and 4.1 m. There were two weight classes:LV71andLV72with a payload of 2.5tonnesandLV73andLV74with a payload of 3 tonnes.[2]
The medium-sized truck series also included Volvo's firstforward controltruck,LV75.The cab was moved forward so that the driver sat beside the engine instead of thegear boxlike aconventional truck.This gives a better weight distribution between the front and rear axle, resulting in reduced rearaxle load.[3]
