Volvo Truck Sales Australia vice president Mitch Peden says he is confident the upgrades will ensure the factory stays ahead of demand.

“Volvo Trucks in New Zealand has delivered record numbers in 2017 and demand for orders into 2018 remain at all-time high levels across the Volvo FM, FMx and FH model ranges.

“At a factory level, we are doing a lot of work to ensure every available build slot is allocated to the New Zealand team because we know they have orders waiting,” Peden says.
