ON THE ROAD
With the help of our products, our customers ensure that there is
food on the table, transport to the airport and newly constructed
roads to drive on. Our estimates show that around 15% of all food
in Europe is delivered by a truck from the Volvo Group. Our trucks
also transport furniture, clothing, sanitary products, computers
and other products most people need in their daily lives.
Our buses transport people quickly to work. One can take an
intercity bus to visit relatives or go on holiday in one of
our touring coaches. Our construction machinery
is used in infrastructure expan-
sion projects, for example for
construction of roads, rail-
ways and bridges.
In order to ensure that the
vehicles stay on the road
and continue to operate
safely, our dealer and ser-
vice network helps our cus-
tomers with excellent, quick
service and first-class techni-
cal solutions.
OFF ROAD
The Volvo Group’s products contribute to the extraction
of some of the world’s most important raw materials. Our vehicles
and machines, which conform to the latest emissions standards,
can be found at the bottom of mines and in the middle of forests.
Our construction equipment and trucks are used daily to mine
iron ore, clear forests, transport lumber or haul many tons of
stone and rock.
The Group’s industrial engines power vital irrigation installa-
tions at agricultural sites all over the world, so that farmers can
grow their crops. We help our customers with financing and see
to it that no machines remain at a standstill – no matter where in
the world they operate.
IN THE CITY
The Volvo Group’s products are part of many people’s daily life. They
take people to work, collect garbage and keep the lights on. The
Volvo Group is developing tomorrow’s public transport solutions so
that it is possible to get to work or school quickly and safely.
Our construction equipment is used to build housing, industrial
and sports facilities, and the Group’s vehicles help keep public areas
clean by transporting millions of tons of refuse from cities around
the world every week. At hospitals the Group’s industrial
engines power reliable backup generator sets to
ensure that the power is running.
We also contribute to our
customers’ profitability by
offering assistance with
financing, insurance as
well as favorable service
agree ments.
AT SEA
The Volvo Group’s products are present at sea, whether
it is on a holiday in the leisure boat or urgent help from the sea
rescue services.
Sea conditions may be the roughest imaginable when the
coast guard or sea rescue services are out on duty. The sea can
also be calm and pleasant when travelling on a ferry or fishing
from the private leisure boat.
The Volvo Group has marine engines for all situations and for
all types of customers. We provide servicing all over the world.
