Volvo Group Australia Press releases

Road transport is notorious for being a harsh and demanding task master. And running a successful transport business is not for the faint hearted, so it comes as no surprise that the key to success often stems from finding operational efficiencies and a strategic edge.

The Volvo FL Electric will transport fresh produce daily from the Woolworth’s Melbourne fresh food distribution centre and is the second truck of its kind in Australia.

These B-double trailers acknowledge the “Lights On The Hill” memorial in Grafton which pays tribute to the sacrifices made by drivers and their families while keeping the wheels of the Australian industry turning.

18 months after bushfires ravaged parts of Australia, devastating lives, families and property, the fresh shoots of recovery are emerging. In early 2020 as a part of the Volvo Group seasonal gift, AB Volvo donated $600,000.00 AUD to the Australian Red Cross to aid those affected by the worst Australian bushfire season on record.

This week marks an important milestone for Volvo Trucks it’s journey towards a fossil-free future, as we announce the handover our first battery electric vehicle to our partners at Linfox.

After 44 years of faithfully serving transport operators in the Mackay region a new chapter will begin with the ownership of Crokers Truck Centre being transferred to Western Truck Group.

The new Volvo FM Crew cab has arrived in Australia with a clear priority: Keeping our frontline emergency services personnel safe and operational. In conjunction with Rosenbauer Australia, this new vehicle has been specially designed and equipped, front to back, with the needs of the firefighter at top of mind.

Volvo Group Australia was honoured to host Prime Minister Scott Morrison at our Wacol manufacturing facility on 22nd of January. Joining the Prime Minister on the tour was Assistant Minister for Road Freight and Safety, Scott Buchholz, Minister for Science, Technology and Industry, Karen Andrews, Councillor Sarah Hutton and Volvo Group Australia President and CEO, Martin Merrick.
