The total investment in the new models, which amounts to 5.5 billion kronor (about 600 million Euro) includes a new automatic gearchanging system, new electronic system, new chassis range, new cab variant, renewed exterior with improved aerodynamics and a new interior.

Series production of the new trucks commenced late last month at the company’s Tuve Plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.

After Tuve, production of the new trucks will start next in Gent, Belgium, where it is planned to start production of the new trucks in mid-February.
