Heavy haul freight trucking professionals that implement a long haul transport with a Volvo 500 horsepower D13 engine during freight shipping duties will be glad to hear that Volvo Group recently reached an engine manufacturing milestone. Volvo Group announced the production of its 300,000th 13-litre heavy duty 500 horsepower D13 engine, at the Volvo Powertrain plant in Hagerstown, Md. Volvo Group was having a bit of a party in Hagerstown to celebrate the milestone in heavy-duty engine manufacture for Volvo Group and freight shipping professionals were on hand to help celebrate the moment. This news is a true historic moment for Volvo Group, especially when combined with the recent news that Volvo Trucks North America also recently announced that Class 8 trucks equipped with EPA 2010 certified Volvo Group engines has passed the 10,000 unit mark, and hopefully in a few years time were talking about at new manufacturing milestone for Volvo Trucks North America.
Volvo Trucks North America has been executing their EPA 2010 project, lately, and it appears that they are having some success in this regard. Sources around the roro and ltl freight shipping industry indicates that drivers are providing positive feedback on the performance, reliability and fuel efficiency of Volvo D11, D13, and D16 engines, which are the engines Volvo Trucks North America uses in its Class 8 trucks. More great news for Volvo Trucks North America as it goes forward down the road to the future and hopefully just a sign of great things to come for Volvo Group and the business of freight shipping in the United States of America. Volvo Trucks North America will only be using this milestone as a milemarker on the road before them though and they certainly will be looking to use this news to create a good feeling around the office and try to vault them to greater truck manufacturing heights in the days ahead in the century of the environment in America.
