Do you know that Volvo equipment was used when China upgraded the Tian An Men Square area for its 60-years anniversary ceremony?
Do you know that Volvo has contributed with about 2000 buses in the EXPO area to solve the transportation problem on the EXPO site?
Do you know that Volvo is one of the top 25 companies, ranking 4 among European companies, according to Wall Street Journal, that are most successful in Asia?
For those lucky Fudan students who woke up early today and came along to the Volvo Factory visit today, they did not only hear about the things above and the Volvo Group in general in a presentation by Volvo’s CE Region President Mr E.Wedekind, but they also ate a delicious breakfast and got the chance to see an exhibition of Volvo Construction Equipments and see what’s happening on the very site where people are making those giant machines of top-notch quality!
I was amazed by the exhibition. Well, I have seen a lot of Volvo machines on the construction sites several times, but it’s such a “wow” feeling to get to see all the world-class excavators, tractors, engines and city buses all brand new gathered at the same place! I somehow thought about the movie “transformers”—–high tech and simply awesome!
The production factories were really cool. The factory, ranking one of the four largest within Volvo has about 160 workers in total. They were all highly experienced and all well taken care of. They also have an impressive just-in-time-delivery system. It only takes them 3.3 days in average from inventory to deliver those top quality machines.
So for all of you who are interested in Volvo, and all of you who joined us in the factory visit, send your application to Volvo today or come to Sweden Day on Saturday at Fudan University to know more about Volvo!!!
