Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) is laying off 143 employees effective Sept. 19 at its Volvo Powertrain manufacturing facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, the company announced.

“We regret having to take this action, but it’s a necessary step in our continued adaptation to market conditions, said VTNA spokesman John Mies.

The layoff follows one in the first quarter, when VTNA laid off 138 Hagerstown employees.

Earlier this spring, VTNA introduced its latest engines and related enhancements at the factory.

The plant, built in 1961 by Mack Trucks, Inc., assembles engines and transmissions for Volvo and Mack Trucks, as well as Mack axles.

Mack and VTNA are units of Sweden-based Volvo Group.
