Volvo Group Facilities Boost Energy Performance Results

Volvo has announced that three of its sites in North American now occupy the top three positions in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Superior Energy Performance® (SEP) program, recording the highest energy performance improvements among Platinum level partners.

Topping the list for Volvo is the Macungie Cab and Vehicle Assembly facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, where all Mack Trucks for North America and export are assembled. It achieved nearly a 42 percent improvement during a 10-year timeframe.

Volvo’s New River Valley assembly plant in Dublin, Virginia, where all Volvo Trucks for North America are assembled, achieved nearly a 26 percent improvement over three years.

In addition, the company’s Hagerstown powertrain facility, which recently became a Platinum-certified partner, is responsible for powertrain development for Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks and Prevost and improved by nearly 21 percent during a three-year period.

To qualify as a Platinum-certified partner, a facility must improve energy performance by more than 15 percent during a three-year period.

The Volvo Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine and industrial engines. The Group also provides complete solutions for financing and service.
