Cab Behind Engine

This Volvo truck designation refers to the company’s medium- and heavy-duty conventional cab layout, where the cab sits behind the engine rather than over it. In the available vehicle-registration records, the name appears with Volvo truck VINs going back to model year 1980, showing that this body configuration has been part of Volvo’s truck line for decades. It is not a retail badge in the passenger-car sense, but a manufacturer model label used for trucks built with this specific cab arrangement. Volvo has long been better known for cab-over-engine trucks in many markets, yet the behind-engine layout remained part of its heavy-truck catalog for regional and specialized applications. The designation is still present in modern VIN data, so it should be treated as an ongoing model label rather than a discontinued nameplate.
