kscarbel2 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dagens Industri / October 17, 2016 Late on Friday, Volvo Group's Board of Directors announced a decision to make a large 435 million kronor investment in the cab factory in Umeå. The money will go towards upgrades in paint processes, including a new surface treatment line involving pre-treatment and electrostatic drop. But despite the large investment, no new jobs will be created at Volvo's Umeå cab plant as a result of the investment. Volvo’s Umeå cab plant employs 1,450 people. An existing building, which houses offices and locker rooms, will be demolished and replaces with a new 3,000 square meter structure. At the press conference, Volvo representatives said the investment will focus on environmentally friendly and advanced technology. The process will be carbon neutral, and the use of renewable fuels instead of fossil. .
