(Oilandgaspress) -] Volvo Trucks begins production of its new regional hauler, the all-new Volvo VNR, at the company’s plant in Dublin, Virginia, in the U.S. The new Volvo VNR is designed to meet the demands of urban and regional delivery operations. The Volvo VNR was first unveiled in March 2025 with order books opening six months later. The first units have now rolled off the assembly line.

Built on a completely new platform – 90 percent new compared with the legacy model – the Volvo VNR is purpose-built for navigating congested city streets, distribution centers, and urban routes where visibility, precision, and agility are critical.

U.S. manufacturing and workforce

The all-new Volvo VNR is assembled at Volvo Trucks’ New River Valley Plant, where all Volvo trucks for the North American market are built. The Virginia facility is the company’s largest manufacturing site globally and plays a central role in its U.S. operations. Volvo has recently invested $400 million in major upgrades at the plant including the addition of a new 350,000-square-foot facility for cab welding along with upgraded paint and material flow systems.
