Volvo introduced its first truck, '''LV Series 1''', in early 1928. The truck shared many components with Volvos passenger cars ÖV4 and PV4, including powertrain, but the truck had a more powerful chassis which was built on two different wheelbases: 3.3 and 3.7 m. Despite the small four-cylinder side-valve engine the truck was a sales success, unlike the passenger cars.<ref name=Volvo>[http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/global/en-gb/aboutus/history/1920s/Pages/Series_1_and_2.aspx Volvo Trucks Global – history]</ref>
After an initial series of 500 Series 1 trucks, Volvo presented the stronger '''LV Series 2''' in the fall of 1928. Many components had been strengthened to better fit a truck and the axle track had been widened.<ref name=Volvo/>
