On August 23, Volvo Trucks and Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jiangling Motors) officially signed an agreement through an online ceremony to acquire Jiangling Heavy-duty Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jiangling Heavy-duty Vehicles) and its production base in Taiyuan. The relevant introduction of Volvo Trucks is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: Volvo Trucks has a long history in China. As early as 1934, the first Volvo truck arrived in Shanghai, China. In 2020, the annual delivery volume of Volvo trucks reached a record high. 2. Introduction 2: In May of this year, the new generation of Volvo trucks was officially launched in Dunhuang. At the launch conference with the theme of 'Every Journey to Dreams', Volvo Trucks comprehensively demonstrated to Chinese customers its product design concept centered on drivers, focusing on 'efficiency, safety, and comfort'. 3. Introduction 3: With the rapid development of China's infrastructure construction and the continuous improvement of logistics efficiency, the high-end truck segment, including Volvo Trucks, will also enter a new stage of rapid expansion.
I'm a driver who enjoys operating heavy trucks, mainly doing long-haul freight transport domestically. I've heard that Volvo Trucks primarily manufactures in Jinan, Shandong province in China. They have a joint venture factory there with Dongfeng Motor, specifically located in Jinan's High-Tech Zone. Choosing Jinan might be due to its convenient transportation network, proximity to ports for exporting to other Asian countries, and lower shipping costs. The models produced include Volvo FH series and other heavy-duty trucks, known for their reliable quality and good reputation in the domestic market. Some veteran driver friends have mentioned that locally produced parts are supplied faster, making maintenance much more convenient. With growing freight demand, the Jinan factory is also expanding production capacity to meet the development of domestic logistics. If you travel to Shandong, you can spot many newly manufactured trucks undergoing testing on the roads.
