A new Volvo-Mack plant to serve the North American market

The Volvo Group announced earlier today that it plans to build a new heavy-duty truck plant in Mexico to complement its North American production.

The new plant is expected to be operational in 2026 and will be approximately 1.7 million square feet. Heavy trucks from Volvo and Mack brands will be assembled there.

In a press release, the Volvo Group says that this increase in production will improve the efficiency of sales facilities in the west and southwest of the United States, as well as provide an ecosystem for distribution and production on the premises.

The Mack plant in Pennsylvania and the Volvo plant in Virginia, however, will remain the main production sites for the two major brands.

The Volvo Group has invested more than $73 million in the Mack plant in Pennsylvania over the past five years and is currently adding an additional $80 million in anticipation of future production needs.

As for the Volvo plant in Virginia, the company is completing a $400 million expansion and modernization program for the production of the all-new Volvo VNL.
