For more than four decades, Rokbak—formerly Terex Trucks—has delivered reliable off-highway articulated haulers to customers worldwide. However, rising operational and supply chain costs, combined with global trade challenges, have significantly impacted financial performance, making continued operation unsustainable. The anticipated production stop of Rokbak articulated haulers is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Volvo CE is dedicated to its vision for long-term success, prioritising continued support for Rokbak customers and partners while laying out the foundation for a strong and sustainable future. Closing Rokbak enables the company to concentrate resources on advancing and launching other innovative hauling solutions. The Motherwell facility in Scotland will continue as a key hub for designing and manufacturing Volvo rigid haulers and will drive development of future product lines.
This closure is subject to completion of a collective consultation process which is expected to be concluded by Quarter 3 2026. Volvo CE will work closely with unions, government representatives, and regulatory bodies to ensure a responsible and supportive transition for any employees who may be impacted by this decision.
