This direction supports Volvo Trucks North America’s long-term commitment to expanding its presence in construction, aggregates, concrete, logging, agriculture, and heavy-haul highway ensuring customers have the safety, productivity, uptime, and operating efficiency they need to keep critical work moving.

“Vocational customers operate in demanding environments that require durability, reliability, and confidence in the partners they choose,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “By aligning Volvo Trucks with Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Penta at CONEXPO, we are demonstrating how an integrated approach across products, services, and manufacturing supports customers today while helping build the future.”

Integrated Volvo Group Presence

Under the theme Power Your Ambition, Volvo Trucks, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Penta, and Volvo Financial Services will demonstrate how having trucks, machines, power solutions, digital services, and financing under one brand simplifies operations for vocational and heavy haul customers.

This one-in-the-same-brand approach creates clear benefits for construction and vocational fleets from better coordination between on and off-road equipment, to shared technologies, to connected services that support uptime and productivity across the entire jobsite. 

Volvo Financial Services will highlight expanded financing and insurance solutions, including its Rolling Asset Program, designed to simplify coverage and help maximize uptime across mixed fleets operating trucks, construction equipment, or both.

Presenters will reinforce Volvo’s long-term ambitions of 100% safe, 100% fossil-free, and 100% more productive through investments in electrification, renewable fuels, next-generation technologies, and flexible financing solutions.

Investing in North America for Long-Term Growth

Volvo Group will highlight its continued investments in production facilities worldwide, creating jobs, strengthening manufacturing capabilities, and advancing progress toward net-zero goals. With a strong focus on North America, these investments support regional growth while reinforcing resilience across the value chain.
