“As interest in the Volvo VNR Electric model continues to grow across North America, the Tinley Park facility will play a critical role in servicing dealers and customers in the central US, as it is easily accessible from O’Hare and Midway airports. (30/5/2022).

This academy facility at Tinley Park will provide technicians with proper training and understanding of all safety procedures when servicing drivetrains and high-voltage electrical components.

Other courses will focus on sales and operating support of the Volvo VNR Electric, in addition to offering advanced guidance for diesel trucks, such as engine overhaul, transmission design and function, and parts sales and warranties.

Meanwhile Volvo Trucks’ EV certified dealer program is also designed to ensure that sales representatives are fully trained to consult with customers considering using a Volvo VNR Electric to ensure they select a technically feasible model configuration based on their operating requirements.
