DUBLIN, VA—Volvo Trucks North America has officially commenced series production of the all-new Volvo VNL, a completely redesigned Class 8 truck featuring sleek aerodynamics and eye-catching details.
The trucks are being assembled at the New River Valley Assembly Plant in Dublin, Virginia, Volvo Group’s largest global facility, spanning 2.3 million square feet across 566 acres. This commercial launch also marks the debut of a new state-of-the-art cab plant, part of Volvo’s $400 million investment in North America, reflecting its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the future of transportation.
Over the summer, more than 1,800 customers, dealers, and sales staff participated in events at the Volvo Trucks Customer Center, gaining hands-on experience with the all-new Volvo VNL.
