Delphi Packard Electric’s global wiring contract also includes Volvo Truck’s North American and Asia-Pacific region wiring harness business, as well as the opportunity to quote on wiring systems for bus, marine and construction equipment produced by Volvo subsidiaries.
“This contract positions Delphi as Volvo Truck’s primary global wiring systems supplier, and can be attributed in part to Delphi’s outstanding quality performance with current Volvo Truck business in Europe, as well as Delphi’s full-systems supplier capabilities, which is what Volvo requires,” said Marc van Reusel, Delphi Packard Electric’s Volvo Truck global customer manager. “Delphi’s engineering expertise, including the support of numerous resident engineers working jointly with Volvo on designing and developing total wiring system solutions, is another reason for Delphi’s continuing relationship with this valued customer.”
In December 1999, Delphi announced the North American portion of the global wiring contract with Volvo Truck. That contract provides for Delphi to supply main cab and engine wiring assemblies for Volvo Truck North America’s Class 8, or heavy-duty, trucks. In the Asia-Pacific region, Delphi supplies complete wiring harness sets for Volvo Truck’s production in Bangalore, India, and a significant part of the wiring harness sets for Brisbane, Australia.
