Volvo Buses sells 91 city buses for Tunis

A few weeks ago, Volvo Buses' International business region secured an
agreement for 91 buses for urban transport in Tunis.

The Tunisian city bus company SNT (Societe Nationale de Tunis) and Volvo
Buses have signed two contracts, one for 49 B10MA, and one for 42
standard version B7R 4x2 for urban transport.

The chassis of the buses will be delivered from Volvo Buses' factory in
Brazil before the end of November. Volvo Buses' importer and
bodybuilder, Setcar-Magrimex, will produce the bodies, and the buses are
estimated to be ready for delivery to the end customer between January
and March 2004.

"We believe in Tunisia and the country's growth potential and it is
already one of the most important markets for our International business
region", says Hakan Sjoberg, sales manager for the Middle East and North
Africa.
