The one pictured looks like a tweaked version of Trade Gothic but it's not Trade.
If I can find it, I'll post.

It's called "Volvo Broad" and was specifically designed for Volvo. It's not commercially available. (which sucks because it's really good)

DutchBoy's got it. It looks like they've just modified Elston a bit.
Whack that baby into Photoshop, do a little character tweaking and that should do it.
