Volvo Group North America Press releases

Volvo Trucks North America will serve as the exclusive sponsor of the American Trucking Associations' America's Road Team for 2027, its 25th consecutive year supporting the program. The announcement was made during the American Trucking Associations' 2026 Management Conference & Exhibition in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Volvo Trucks has officially unveiled the all-new Volvo VNX, a vocational and heavy-haul truck engineered from the ground up for North America's most demanding work across construction, concrete, logging, agriculture, heavy-haul highway, and municipal plow. Revealed today in a live digital event, the all-new Volvo VNX is the third all-new truck Volvo has introduced in North America in less than three years, following the Volvo VNL in 2024 and the Volvo VNR in 2025, and the first of the three built for work on and off the pavement.

Volvo Trucks North America will highlight its commitment to safety, customer success and uptime solutions at the American Trucking Associations' 2026 Management Conference & Exhibition (ATA MCE), October 17-20 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Visitors can meet with Volvo Trucks product experts in booth #26053 to discuss a new service contract offering, the fuel efficiency of the all-new Volvo VNL and the all-new Volvo VNR.

Volvo VNR Electric trucks, with battery-electric refrigeration, replace diesel on City Harvest’s routes through the Bronx, the borough with the highest levels of food insecurity and poverty in New York City, including the Hunts Point neighborhood, which absorbs more than 15,000 truck trips a day. The new trucks will support a 25% increase in the amount of food City Harvest will provide to the Bronx this year.

Volvo Trucks' global heavy-duty electric range has been named International Truck of the Year 2027. It is the company's eighth win of the award and the second for the Volvo FH Electric. The award recognizes the same global electric truck program behind the Volvo VNR Electric trucks that fleets in the United States and Canada have been operating since 2020.

Volvo Trucks will unveil the all-new Volvo VNX on October 14, offering the first look at the next-generation vocational truck built for the toughest jobs in North America. With a bold new design and a focus on strength and durability, the Volvo VNX will be unlike anything Volvo Trucks has brought to the North American market before.
