Volvo launches two used trucks tools

Volvo Trucks launched its Volvo Premium Certified used trucks program and online Volvo Used Truck Search tool.

“With a rigorous inspection and reconditioning of each truck, customers can be confident that Volvo Premium Certified models deliver the quality experience they’ve come to expect from a Volvo truck,” said Pete Monize, vice president, Volvo Trucks remarketing operations.

To better assist truck buyers in finding the right pre-owned vehicle, Volvo Trucks created an online used truck search tool with search features, including the ability to search specifically for Volvo Premium Certified models. The search tool lists available vehicles among pre-owned Volvo models from across the United States and Canada based on a number of selectable search criteria. Clicking on a search result takes the user directly to the dealer’s website, simplifying the purchasing process, said the company.

“The online Volvo Used Truck Search tool is a quick and convenient way to find the pre-owned Volvo model to best meet the customer’s needs,” Monize said. “Customers can search by model, year, mileage, price range and Premium Certified status, allowing them to select the specific criteria for the truck for which they are searching.”

Class 8 orders strong in February

Even when seasonally adjusted, ACT says preliminary order numbers for February are up 5% over January.

ACT-Class-8-Feb-truck-orders

According to the latest numbers from ACT Research, preliminary North America Class 8 net orders were 27,700 units, up 600 units from January and 16% from a year ago. With the fourth-largest seasonal factor of the year at 8%, seasonal adjustment reduces February’s Class 8 intake to 25,600 units, up 5% from January.

“Weak freight and carrier profitability fundamentals, and large carriers guiding to lower capex in 2024, would imply pressure in U.S. tractor, the North American Class 8 market’s largest segment,” said Kenny Vieth, ACT’s president and senior analyst. “While we do not yet have the underlying detail for February order volumes, Class 8 demand continuing at high levels again this month suggests that U.S. buyers continue as strong market participants.”
