“Through the hard work, expertise, and passion of the South African team, Volvo Trucks continues to drive progress, sustainability, fleet efficiency, safety, and quality,” he adds. “We are equally committed to making a positive impact in society by investing in the development of women truck drivers and female technicians, among other initiatives.”
Volvo Trucks is headquartered in Ekurhuleni and operates 20 dealerships across South Africa, all dedicated to ensuring maximum uptime and productivity for customer fleets.
“Our dealers are our primary point of contact for customers. To strengthen these partnerships and continue delivering first class service, we will keep investing in our facilities, the continuous training of our employees, and innovative yet practical solutions that support customers throughout their transport journey with us,” he concludes.
