U. S. Defense Logistics Agency Selects Volvo Construction Equipment North America for Long-Term Equipment Requirements Contract!

Alexandria, VA - January 8, 2004 - Volvo Construction Equipment North America, Asheville, North Carolina has been selected by the United States Defense Logistics Agency (Defense Supply Center Philadelphia) for its long-term Commercial Requirements Contract supply operation. United States military customers and other government agencies will now be able to purchase products from the extensive Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) lines of wheel loaders, hydraulic excavators, motor graders, articulated haulers, backhoe and skid steer loaders and compact construction equipment through a special ordering system made possible by this long-term construction equipment contract supply arrangement.

While many government customers have individually purchased Volvo construction equipment in the past, the new long-term requirements contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) provides the company’s customers with favorable pricing for all of the company’s products and an extremely easy ordering mechanism. This includes shortened delivery lead times and comprehensive local product support.

In addition to military customers, the DLA offers Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) special discounted prices on and rapid delivery of Volvo construction equipment to all non-Department of Defense federal agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Interior, Energy, Agriculture, and all other government customers.
