Volvo Trucks President Roger Alm said India’s economy is growing very fast. And when the economy grows, transport also grows automatically. More factories, more goods, more deliveries — so more truck demand on the road. That is why Volvo believes that in the coming years, India will buy a lot of medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles for business work.

Right now in North America, especially the US, the need for trucks is going down. But in India, the story is totally different — here demand is rising every month because work is increasing everywhere. But India is going in the opposite direction with a better road network, more industrial work and rising logistics needs.

India Becomes a Strong Manufacturing Hub

Volvo Group already makes engines and many key components in India. These parts are also supplied to other countries. With demand rising, Volvo wants to expand production in India further.

 This will help India become a major exporting country for heavy trucks and premium buses in the global market.

Volvo Focuses on Electric Trucks and Electric Buses

Volvo also said India will slowly move toward electric trucks and electric buses. Clean energy transport is growing because companies and the government both want to reduce emissions and fuel costs.

But there is one big challenge — charging infrastructure is still not available everywhere. Volvo plans to invest in technology and support infrastructure in the coming years so more fleet owners can choose electric commercial vehicles with confidence.

Government Policies Will Help Faster Growth

Supportive policies like emission norms, green transport push, and digital toll systems are giving a strong boost to the trucking industry. The government is also upgrading expressways and industrial corridors, which will increase business for bus operators and truck owners across India.

Big Opportunity for Transport Business

Logistics demand is rising in sectors like e-commerce, mining, construction and FMCG goods. Due to this, more buyers are looking for strong and fuel-efficient trucks. Volvo believes India can become one of the top markets for heavy commercial vehicles in the next decade.

This growth wave will not only improve transport but also create jobs in manufacturing, service and fleet operations.

Conclusion

Volvo says India is the next growth engine for the truck and commercial vehicle market. And with future investment in electric buses and greener technology, India will play a major role in clean and safe road transport.
