A new training facility for Volvo Construction Equipment service technicians has officially opened at its North American headquarters in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
The 20,000-square-foot training facility is an extension of the 40-acre Volvo CE Customer Center, doubling the overall building’s size. It includes new machine bays, classrooms, and a virtual lab with video, augmented reality, and other technologies.
It will serve as a training hub for Volvo CE dealer service technicians on diesel and electric heavy equipment, machine control technology, connectivity, productivity services, and more.
"I'm proud to work for a company that invests in not only the equipment and technology of the construction industry's future but also the North American workforce," said Scott Young, acting president of Region North America, Volvo CE. "The technicians who come through this training center will be prepared for a more climate-friendly and connected future, supporting our customers in this fast-changing industry."
Volvo CE offers training to dealer service and sales teams from across the United States and Canada.
The training includes three levels of technical certifications for maintenance, diagnostics, and repair of Volvo equipment, plus a new certification to perform the commissioning and decommissioning of Volvo electric machines.
The training facility includes in-person classroom space, virtual labs and three larger service bays for hands-on instruction.Volvo CE
