INTERVIEW

POWER
Volvo Powertrain in brief
Volvo Powertrain is the world’s largest producer
of heavy diesel engines in the 9–18 liter classes.
The business unit coordinates Volvo’s powertrain
operations and supplies the Volvo Group’s
business areas with integrated powertrain
systems c o mprising diesel e n gines, t r ansmissions
and driveshafts.
Volvo Powertrain ha s 8,274 employees, including
5,677 in production and 2,597 in product de vel-
opment and administration.
It was a hectic year for Volvo Powertrain. The
strategies and plans that were adopted after
the acquisition of Renault Trucks and Mack
Trucks were followed through.
Volvo Powertrain – the Group’s engine
The Group now has common engine platforms
that fulfill the latest environmental require-
ments, a more focused research and develop-
ment program, more efficient production and a
more focused supplier structure.
“If Volvo 3P is the soul in the cooperation
between the business areas, then we are the
heart,” says Lars-Göran Moberg, President of
Volvo Powertrain. “Our task is to ensure that
good drivelines are available for Volvo Trucks,
Mack Trucks, Renault Trucks, Buses,
Construction Equipment and Volvo Penta.”
It sounds self-evident when Lars-Göran
Moberg says it, but it is no small undertaking to
be the driveline supplier for the Volvo Group,
