  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Ref: 2016/03 SMT Group takes Moroccan Volvo CE distribution Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has announced that it is divesting its business within Volvo Maroc SA to a longstanding distribution partner SMT Group. Subject to regulatory approval, the agreement between SMT Group and Volvo CE will come into effect in the second quarter of 2016 and cover the sale, importation and distribution of Volvo and SDLG branded construction equipment products and services in Morocco. Volvo CE business and employees will transfer to SMT, along with all warranties and service agreements, maintaining the Volvo brand’s strong customer relationships and high quality of service in Morocco. SBMH who is distributing the SDLG brand products in Morocco, will continue to act under the new direction of SMT. “Our colleagues at Volvo Maroc have built up the Volvo CE business in Morocco almost from scratch over the last 10 years and benefited from a close association with the strong Volvo Truck brand image in the country,” says Tomas Kuta, president of Volvo CE’s Europe, Middle East and Africa sales region. “We now feel that further growth would be best achieved by a strong independent dealer, one that can offer the right investments and give the opportunity to develop new business and achieve economies of scale as part of a large group in North West Africa. “With many years of experience doing business in North and West Africa, and with a clear vision for growth in the region, SMT is an ideal partner to take over and grow the Volvo CE business in Morocco,” Kuta concludes.

  • Volvo Buses Receives Order for 90 Electric Buses from Belgium
    Press information Volvo Buses receives order for 90 electric buses from Belgium Volvo Buses has secured its largest ever order for complete solutions for electric bus traffic. The Belgian cities of Charleroi and Namur have together ordered 90 Volvo 7900 Electric Hybrid buses as well as 12 charging stations. The buyer is public transport company TEC Group. The charging stations will be delivered by ABB. The order from TEC Group covers 55 buses for Charleroi and another 35 buses for Namur. ABB will supply 4 charging stations to Charleroi and 8 charging stations for Namur. Delivery and installation will get under way this autumn. After the delivery, the TEC Group will have ordered in total 101 Volvo electric hybrids and 15 ABB charging stations. “This is extremely gratifying! The order is a new milestone in our electromobility drive and confirms the competitiveness of our offer. We can see that more and more of the world’s cities are choosing electrified city bus traffic in order to deal with poor air quality and noise. The common interface for fast charging of buses and trucks, OppCharge, is gaining ground. The use by many suppliers of a common interface will facilitate the transition to electromobility in the world’s cities,” said Volvo Buses President Håkan Agnevall. The customer and operator, TEC Group, previously ordered 11 Volvo 7900 Electric Hybrids along with charging stations for Namur, a system that became operational in January this year. Once the 35 new buses take to the roads, 90 per cent of Namur’s public transport will be electrified.
