Mack Trucks Wins More US Army Contracts Print E-mail
NRV Business   

Swedish truck maker Volvo says the U.S. Army has awarded two contracts totaling nearly $30 million to its Mack Trucks division. The larger contract, worth $28.5 million, is for 152 tractor-trailer rigs to be built at the company's New River Valley assembly plant in Dublin, Virginia.

The Army also awarded Mack a $1 million contract for research-and-development work in Hagerstown, Md. on making a heavy-duty diesel engine run on jet fuel. Volvo spokesman John Walsh says the engine conversion would meet a military efficiency requirement to have its aircraft, watercraft and vehicles all run on a single fuel.
