Volgren '1977–pr.

Volgren is Australia's largest bus body builder with manufacturing operations and aftersales support in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

The name is a portmanteau of the two original investors, Volvo and Grenda.

Volgren built their first bus, made from Hess aluminium, over the top of a B58 mid-engine Volvo chassis, in 1979.

In 1987 Volgren Australia Pty Ltd was formed and the formal agreement with Volvo came to a conclusion. The company built a factory in Perth in 1999, in Brisbane in 2008 and in Newcastle, two hours north of Sydney, in 2009.

In 2008 Volgren celebrated the 2500th bus body built at the Dandenong factory. Two years later the company delivered their 5000th bus body in total across all factories.

In February 2012, after more than 30 years of full ownership, the Grenda Corporation – a family-owned company – sold a majority stake in Volgren to Brazil-based Marcopolo SA, one of the world's largest bus body manufacturers.

In 2017, Marcopolo SA, acquired the remaining 25 percent of Volgren giving the company full ownership.

Today, Volgren designs and manufactures public transport buses of all types, across multiple technologies including zero-emission vehicles.
