One of the Volvo Group representatives was Eric Leblanc, the president of Volvo India. He spoke about the potential created by using long vehicle combinations in order to reduce traffic and improve the efficiency of every transport assignment.
According to Eric Leblanc, the Volvo Group has been at the forefront when it comes to the development of transport and the infrastructure in India.
“The Indian economy is developing at lightning speed and the traffic problems in the towns and cities and on the roads are becoming worse and worse. It’s important that we involve ourselves and try to improve the situation,” he says.
