Corsa Specialised Vehicles (CSV) is a small-scale automaker established in 1994 that is based in Mildura, Victoria, Australia. Its range consists of V8-engined high performance cars based on those produced by Holden.

Since its founder, Peter Dichiera (engine builder and 1970s drag racer, nicknamed "Mildura Maverick"), decided that CSV would not simply build modified versions of existing Holden cars, in 1996 it obtained government approval under the Australian Design Rules (ADR) scheme thus becoming a "secondary manufacturer" in the same mold as large-scale rival, Holden Special Vehicles (HSV).

CSV's famed tuner reputation was established with the first vehicle built in 1994. Badged Corsa 220i ("corsa" meaning "race" in Italian) and based on a Holden VR Berlina, it featured in a test comparison published by a local automotive magazine following which, thanks to favourable results against rival HSV,CSV built a further two vehicles by special order and began exhibiting at Australian motorshows.

The full CSV range has included:

• the Volanti (a phonetic adaptation of "volante" meaning "flying" in Italian), Strada (meaning "road" in Italian) and Veloce(meaning "fast" in Italian), based on the short wheelbase Holden Commodore (VR to VX series) sedan and wagon
• the La Classe (meaning "the class" in Italian), based on the long wheelbase Holden Statesman/Caprice (VS and WH series) sedan
• the Mondo (meaning "world" in Italian), based on the Holden Monaro (V2 series) coupé
• the Bullet based on the Holden (VS to VU series) utility.

The individual model designation of each vehicle is based on the engine output (in kilowatts). For example, in the case of the Mondo, it was offered as the GT305 (featuring a 5.7 L (350 cu in) LS1 producing 305 kW (409 hp), stainless steel high output headers, stainless steel exhaust, 19-inch alloy wheels and 245/35ZR19 tyres), a "Stage 2" GT350R (featuring a blueprinted version of the base engine) and a GT400R (instead powered by a 6.5 L (397 cu in) V8 engine).

Apart from high capacity and high output V8 engines, enhanced suspension and braking systems, CSV vehicles are characterised by upgraded interiors and full body kits (in particular, bonnet air vents, revised grilles and large decklid spoilers).

Over time, CSV has gained various high performance achievements in the local Australian industry that have included:

• producing, in 2000, the fastest accelerating Australian production car from 0 to 400m (the CSV Veloce)
• offering, in 2007, the first Holden Commodore-based performance car powered by a 7.0 L (427 cu in) LS7 V8 engine (the CSV GTS), in so doing beating rival HSV with its subsequent W427.

While still based in Mildura, CSV's expanded operations into Melbourne were terminated but also opened in Perth, Western Australia.

This CSV is not to be confused with HSV's Middle-Eastern export CSV badge, which stands for "Chevrolet Special Vehicles" instead.

The Caldwell Vale Truck & Bus Co. was an Australian automobile, bus, truck and tractor manufacturer from 1907 to 1913 in the Sydney suburb of Auburn NSW,. The company started in 1907 when Felix Caldwell and Norman Laurie Caldwell of South Australia filed for a patent covering "Improvements in and connected with driving and steering motor propelled vehicles". In short, the patent was for a four-wheel-drive system with four-wheel-steering.

They built forty petrol-engined commercials as load-carriers and heavy tractors. Power came from an 11-litre 4-cyl engine with separately cast cylinders via a 3-speed main gearbox and transfer to all four 1.5m diameter steel,shod wheels. It was a bonneted design. employing a unique power steering system. whereby the column engaged with one of the cone clutches connected by chain driven shaft to the front of the engine crankshaft. When the steering wheel was turned one of the clutches engaged with a worm connected to the steering drag link, thereby moving the wheels the appropriate direction.

Later they combined with Henry Vale of New South Wales and in 1910, the trio applied for a patent covering "Improved power steering gear for heavy motor driven road vehicles".

Few technical details have survived about the marque and roughly 40 examples of the vehicles appear to have been made. A touring car, it is known to have had four-wheel drive, a 30 hp six-cylinder engine and four-wheel steering.

The company also built a fair tractors.In 1912-1913, the company lost a court case to do with the performance guarantee of the trucks and was taken over by Purcell Engineering in 1916.
