Volvo Trucks is transferring its production from Turkey to France
- In 2007, the truck manufacturer Renault Trucks reached an agreement with the Turkish carmaker KARSAN in order to outsource the manufacturing of the Kerax and Premium models for the Turkish market but mainly for export.
- Today, to mark the complete renewal of the Renault Trucks range, Volvo Trucks (owner of Renault Trucks since 2001) prematurely terminated this agreement and will transfer from Turkey to France the production of trucks manufactured under the Renault brand .
- Volvo Trucks is going to stop the production of trucks under the Renault brand in Turkey at the end of 2013, in order to transfer it to France.
- Meeting the new Euro 6 standards these models will be assembled in Renault Industrial Vehicle factories, located in the region of Lyon.
- This transfer will generate a positive long-term effect with better use of existing truck plants, complying with and contributing to the global strategy of the group's truck segment.
- Let us recall that within the Volvo Trucks group, Renault trucks accounted for 22% of sales in the first half of 2013, an increase compared to 2012. The Volvo Group Trucks Sales amounted to 60,000 units during this period.
