The PV802 could be used as a spare ambulance. After folding all seats on the car’s right side, a stretcher could be loaded trough the bootlid. Volvo continued to build commercial chassis versions, which were often used as basis for proper ambulances. During the Second World War Volvo built a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, called Terrängpersonvagn m/43 (TPV), for the Swedish Armed Forces. The mechanical parts were based on Volvo’s smaller lorries and the body came from the Sow.
