  The multiplicity fluctuations are studied in the van der Waals excluded
volume hadron-resonance gas model. The calculations are done in the grand
canonical ensemble within the Boltzmann statistics approximation. The scaled
variances for positive, negative and all charged hadrons are calculated along
the chemical freeze-out line of nucleus-nucleus collisions at different
collision energies. The multiplicity fluctuations are found to be suppressed in
the van der Waals gas. The numerical calculations are presented for two values
of hard-core hadron radius, $r=0.3$ fm and 0.5 fm, as well as for the upper
limit of the excluded volume suppression effects.
