Volvo had several names on their small truck presented in 1956. But the most common everyday name was Volvo Snabbe, but it was also called L420/430. Due to its gasoline V8 it earned its nickname Snabbe quite well ("Fast"). The V8 was actually made for a Volvo luxury car very similar to Kaiser. The car was called Philip, but it wasn´t developed further than into a prototype, now on display in the Volvo museum i in Gothenburg.
