MY apologies! I am well-aware of Volvo has a bus (and truck) maker, and 
a biogas train powered by Volvo engines is part of the subject matter 
of  the first entry on my Blog. I have spoken to Volvo Bus UK people 
about regulations related to front bike racks.

I simply thought I had looked into the Volvo Foundations before - these 
are funders of the programme at UC Berkeley - and thought it was part of 
the Volvo CAR brand (currently owned by Ford). I think I had also 
confused it with some other "green" transport think tank run by another 
automobile manufacturer.

(On the same issue, people should know that the biggest Czech automobile 
manufacturer - Skoda Auto - is owned by VW - and it is 100% split from 
Skoda Transporation which makes trams, trolleybuses, metro cars, etc.).

So, sorry again....

Yours with less haste and more truthful throughput,
T
