About Volvo Truck

Introduction

Volvo’s claim that it “Drives Progress” is substantiated with every drop, decibel and degree. We only compete with ourselves by pushing, questioning, testing and challenging norms to make constant improvements in our trucks as they keep evolving towards greater reliability, better fuel efficiency, better uptime and higher performance as compared with previous models.

When you factor in all the discoveries, patterns and improvements that are built into every Volvo truck, and multiply them with the distances that the trucks travel, the advantages lead up to leadership, safety, quality and environmental care.

Furthermore, at VPL, our product planning originates from the need assessment of customers so where, on the one hand this process evolves into an optimal and tangible product for them, it also translates into long term intangible benefits of fuel economy and extraordinary product life.

We help our customers fight for every fraction and margin that leads up to greater profits and progress for them because at Volvo, we are truly fueled and powered by our Customers’ satisfaction.
