Volvo Trucks launches new construction truck

Volvo Trucks has today launched its new Volvo FMX construction truck at the
Bauma international machinery fair in Munich. With this new truck, Volvo Trucks
aims to secure a strong increase in its market share of the construction
segment.  

Volvo FMX is based on the FM truck, which itself is a successful and well-tested
construction truck. Sales of the new truck in the European market will commence
in September. An international launch will follow during the remainder of the
year. 

“Today, Volvo Trucks is the leader in the long-distance transport segment and we
are now aiming to take a leading position in the construction segment,” says
Staffan Jufors, President of Volvo Trucks.

The Volvo Group is unique in the vehicle industry as a leading producer of
trucks and construction equipment. No other producer has this type of
experience. 

“Volvo Trucks and Volvo Construction Equipment have extensive experience of the
construction industry. In combination, we can offer our customers the most
comprehensive product offering in the industry. We intend to capitalize on this
to grow Volvo Trucks' presence in the construction segment. We foresee great
potential in this area,” says Staffan Jufors.
