Volvo Group North America Recognized for Energy Reduction
Volvo Group North America recently was honored with a 2015 Energy Award from the Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC) for its efforts to reduce energy usage at its manufacturing facilities.
Since 2009, the Volvo Group has reduced energy consumption by 26.8 percent at eight of its U.S. manufacturing facilities, exceeding its original goal of a 25 percent reduction in energy consumption by the year 2020.
“The 2015 IETC Energy Award is a tremendous recognition of the efforts we have undertaken to not only meet, but exceed our goals to reduce energy usage at our facilities,” said Rick Robinson, director of health, safety and environment for Volvo Group North America.
Three of the Volvo Group’s manufacturing sites – the Macungie Cab and Vehicle Assembly facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, where all Mack Trucks for North America and export are assembled, the New River Valley assembly plant in Dublin, Virginia, where all Volvo Trucks for North America are assembled, and the Volvo Group Powertrain facility in Hagerstown, Maryland – are among the top six SEP Platinum-certified facilities.
