This investment is a part of Volvo Construction Equipment's 2.5 billion Swedish Kroner investment announced in June 2025.
The 30,000 square meter facility will be utilized for a mixed line of both electric and internal combustion engine models, in the medium and large size classes between 14 to 50 tonnes.
Eskilstuna facility aims to meet the growing European customer demand by increasing capacity and flexibility, reducing reliance on long-distance logistics, shorter delivery times, enhancing supply chain resilience and reducing carbon emissions.
