Volvo Group recently opened centres for Mack and Volvo trucks in Iraq.
The first truck center was inaugurated on 29 May in Baghdad at an event hosted by the ZamZam Spring General Trading Company. The opening event was attended by the Swedish Ambassador in Iraq, His Excellency Joergen Lindstroem, the president of ZamZam, Bagher Kazem, Stefan Soenchen, business team director Iraq – Volvo Group Trucks Middle East, as well as VIP customers and members of the government.
The Baghdad Truck Center is one of the most modern facilities in Middle East, says Volvo. It was built, equipped and will operate according to European standards with a special focus on environmental issues. The facilities include an Importer Central Warehouse, a five-bay workshop, a body repair workshop, a paint shop and a technical training centre.
A second truck centre was inaugurated two days later in Basra, the location of the main Iraqi oil reserves and therefore one of Volvo Trucks’ and Mack Trucks’ strategic locations in the country.
Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks expansion into new markets are crucial elements for Volvo Group Trucks Middle East’s plans to grow by 30% in 2015. With the openings of the Baghdad and Basra centres, there are now 48 truck centres across the region where customers may now benefit from Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks tailor made service offers.
