Volvo Group inaugurates new Volvo Center in Poland

The markets in Eastern Europe have been growing rapidly for the Volvo Group and
sales in the region increased by nearly 40 percent during 2006. To further
strengthen the position in Eastern Europe and meet increased transport and
infrastructure needs, Volvo Group is continuing to invest in the region.
Tomorrow, Friday May 11, Volvo Group is opening a new Volvo Center in Mlochów,
Poland. The multifunctional center will cover different Volvo activities
operated by Volvo Trucks, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Buses and Volvo
Financial Services.

Throughout Europe there is an intensifying need for transport solutions and
building of new infrastructure, particularly between east and west, resulting in
increased demand for heavy trucks, construction equipment and buses. 

The new Volvo Center, situated about 30 kilometers from Warsaw, comprises
workshops, a training school as well as different offices for Volvo Trucks,
Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Buses and Volvo Financial Services. 

For Volvo Trucks, the center will house the head office of Region Central East
as well as the head office of the Volvo Truck Center Poland organization.

Investments in the new facilities were made by Volvo Polska Sp. zo.o., a company
wholly owned by the Volvo Group. The investments also got EU funded financial
support from the Polish Government.
The new Volvo Center will serve as a model multifunctional service station,
which will help implement Volvo's standards in factory-owned and independent
authorized service stations in Eastern Europe. Genuine Volvo service is a key
element in the Group's strategy of delivering total transport solutions. It also
serves as the definition of the service level and standard that every Volvo
workshop is required to offer.
