Kockum Landsverk

In 1947, both Euclid and AB Kockum Landsverk were selling their first rigid haulers. In 1982 the Kockum rigid haulers were incorporated into the product program and were soon branded Volvo BM. Manufacture at AB Kockum Landsverk ceased in 1991.

ARTICULATED HAULERS – KOCKUM
At the time of acquisition of the construction division of Kockums, they produced both rigid and articulated haulers. The articulated hauler production was soon phased out in favour of the Volvo BM articulated haulers.
