Volvo B58 Buses and Coaches

Volvo trucks started to make a big impact in New Zealand in the mid-1970s. In 1976 Volvo agents Dalhoff & King landed an order from Newmans for tour and service coaches. In 1978 the tender to supply 68 trolley buses for Wellington City Transport was one by a consortium including Dalhoff & King who would supply B58 chassis. I suspect it may have been a surprise to Volvo that these buses were marketed as Volvos. From then on Volvo have had a significant share of the New Zealand coach market and have sold a small but steady number of buses. Dalhoff & King went out of business during the construction of the Wellington trolley buses. Titan Plant Services took over as Volvo distributor in New Zealand.

The buses on this site are actively tracked. The last registration record search was 13 February 2012.

Original operators are:

Fourways Tours	Gibson Motors	Gisborne City Council	Moa Trek
Murphy Buses	Newmans 2-axle coaches	Newmans 3-axle coaches	Newmans composite coaches
New Plymouth City Council	Okato Bus Lines	Ranui Buses	Ritchies
Wellington City Transport

Fourways Tours B58 Coaches with NZMB Tourliner bodies

Between 1978 and 1982 Fourways purchased 7 Volvo B58 Coaches all with NZMB bodies. Numbers 26-28 were C42FAt and the remainder C44FAt

Wellington City Council Transport Department B58 BBC 4ELO 2020 trolleybuses

Wellington order 68 new trolley buses in 1979. Problems in construction meant the last did not enter service till August 1986.

These have been broken down to provide front and read axles and traction motors for the next generation trolleys. Fortunately NZ Bus have donated 233 to Omnibus Society and 268 to the Foxton Trolley Bus Museum. 227 and 258 will be used as a supply of spare parts.

The change of ownership from Wellington City Council Transport Department to Wellington City Transport Ltd on 21/8/92 is not shown.

33 buses with Hawke Hunter B40D bodies. Brown Boveri 175hp motors, thyristor chopper and Telma eddy current retarder. There were many problems requiring modifications and some years passed between initial registration of the buses and them being accepted for service.
