After a two-year break because of the global recession, the international 2394 Volvo Days returned this year.

A Volvo Construction Equipment tradition for more than half a century, the promotional event, which ran for nearly four weeks, was "dedicated to demonstrating new products and strengthening relationships with customers and dealers." Among the package of events was a demonstration showcasing many of the 90 Volvo Construction Equipment machines available at the customer centre in Eskilstuna, Sweden; a chance to test drive the equipment and visit several factories, such as the wheel loader plant in Arvika or the articulated hauler plant in Braås, both in Sweden.

CEO Pat Olney, said the company is well positioned to benefit from buoyant markets, thanks to a massive product renewal programme and significant investments in its industrial structure. He also outlined an investment programme running into hundreds of millions of dollars and highlighted over 50 new products that are being introduced in 2011.
