A $69 million investment in state-of-the art equipment, processes and plant redesign will further improve manufacturing efficiency and vehicle quality at Volvo’s New River Valley (NRV) truck assembly plant in Dublin, Virginia.

The enhancements will include state-of-the art, energy-efficient upgrades to the paint facility that will increase North American paint capacity and deliver superior quality.  New racking and storage systems, docks, and lifting devices, together with the redesign of a variety of work areas, will allow improved material delivery.

“The NRV plant and the passion of its employees are a competitive advantage for Volvo Trucks,” said Göran Nyberg, president, Volvo Trucks North American Sales & Marketing.  “This investment gives them the tools to continue optimizing delivery precision and quality for our customers.”
