Buses that glide noiselessly without emissions, that pick up passengers indoors and which are powered by a renewable source of electricity – this will become a reality in 2015, through the launch of an ultramodern bus service in Gothenburg. The new technology enables completely new possibilities for future public-transport. Behind the initiative is the Volvo Group, in cooperation with the Swedish Energy Agency, the City of Gothenburg, Västtrafik, Lindholmen Science Park and Johanneberg Science Park.

Deliveries from the Volvo Group’s truck operations in May 2013 amounted to 16,732 vehicles. This was a decrease of 9% compared with the year-earlier month.

Renault Trucks is taking advantage of the switch to the Euro 6 standard to totally renew its entire range. This renewal has been the object of an investment by the Volvo Group of over €2 billion and the most stringent testing Renault Trucks has ever carried out in its entire history. The aim is clear: to supply its customers with a perfect, reliable and high-performance tool which will allow them to keep their costs under control. More than ever, Renault Trucks considers a truck to be a centre of profit which must never let its customers down, make its drivers proud and protect their businesses.
