The record

Volvo had the C202 built at Csepel to fulfil a Swedish–Hungarian trade deal; it was the last Laplander and the only one built outside Sweden, and its B20 and hard top made it the civilian favourite.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
