MACK, VOLVO READY TO ROLL
The first production level EPA2010 Volvo VN (pictured) has rolled off the company’s assembly line at its New River Valley plant. The VN670, complete with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) was completed July 2, the company reported. Full production of customer trucks will begin in the fall and Volvo is already taking orders for its EPA2010-compliant trucks. Mack, meanwhile, says plans to start production on its EPA2010-compliant trucks are continuing on schedule. In recent weeks, employees at the Macungie Assembly Operations plant have built Granite and TerraPro models equipped with SCR systems. These trucks have the same components that will be installed on customer trucks later this year, Mack says. •
