Volvo trucks are built in several countries worldwide, with major plants in Sweden, Belgium, the United States, Brazil, South Africa, India, Thailand, and Australia. Many regional plants focus on serving nearby markets, so trucks sold in North America are typically assembled in the U.S., while many European trucks come from Sweden and Belgium.

Main production countries

  • Sweden – Plants in Gothenburg (also the global head office) and Umeå, where cabs are produced.
  • Belgium – Large assembly plant in Ghent, a key site for European long‑haul models.
  • United States – New River Valley plant in Dublin, Virginia, which builds all Volvo trucks sold in North America.
  • Brazil – Curitiba plant, serving Latin American markets.
  • South Africa – Plant in Durban for regional production.
  • India – Plant in Bangalore for local and regional demand.
  • Thailand – Assembly in Bangkok.
  • Australia – Assembly in Brisbane for the Australian and nearby markets.

How Volvo organizes production

Volvo concentrates cab production in Umeå (Sweden) and Ghent (Belgium), and engine production mainly in Skövde, Sweden. Final truck assembly then happens in regional plants like New River Valley in the U.S. or Curitiba in Brazil, which lets Volvo adapt trucks to local regulations and customer specs.

In simple terms: Volvo trucks are “world trucks” built close to the customers who will drive them, rather than in just one country.
