So I took a trip to the New River Valley Volvo Truck Manufacturing plant in Dublin Virginia this past week. A Little back story is that I am a Fleet maintenance manager for a privately owned grocery company based out of the Pittsburgh area. We run a fleet of Volvo tractors roughly 50% CNG with Westport 11.9 liter CNG engines.We are in the process of trying to become 75% CNG. Fleet size is roughly 205 trucks with 750 trailers. 

 

 

A little side note I walked the line and noticed a mix between Milwaukee and Dewalt tools being used to bulding the cabs and chassis of these units

the trucks are awesome but I think they missed the mark on the box looks like it’s just sitting on top …doesn’t flow wheel well to small and to high…..
