Volvo Group already implements a number of projects in Kaluga-Yug industrial park, Kaluga Region, namely, a plant manufacturing Volvo and Renault trucks, Volvo Truck Center Kaluga, Volvo customs department; Volvo Construction Equipment plant manufacturing excavators, Volvo Group Cab Factory producing cabs for Volvo and Renault trucks.
Vladimir Popov, Deputy Governor, Kaluga Region said: “We have reached an agreement on implementation of the new investment project in Kaluga Region with our Swedish partners. The project will be supported by the Ministry of Industry of Russia. The project provides for manufacturing of automatic transmissions for Volvo trucks. It is too early to speak of the project in more detail, however, I would like to say that this will be a major project ensuring creation of many new jobs and an increase in the output of the main Volvo production facility in Kaluga. This agreement is a good example for all automotive industry companies in Russia. The company makes its products more competitive through modernization and commissioning of new production facilities, and gets access to government support instruments”.
