Volvo Trucks North America has announced that the 2007 emissions technology price increase for its trucks will be $7,500.

This charge is associated with the new technology necessary to meet the strict new emissions standards that take effect Jan. 1, 2007, for heavy-duty trucks.
“Volvo has made a very substantial investment developing not just engines but complete vehicle solutions to meet the 2007 standards,” said Scott Kress, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “We have also invested in assembly and testing facilities for our new family of engines in Hagerstown, Md. As a result, our customers will benefit from a full range of modern, highly productive diesel engines, while all of society benefits from lower emissions and cleaner air.”
The price increase will be listed as a surcharge on invoices of new trucks built with the 2007 engines. The price increase includes Volvo trucks equipped with Cummins ISX engines, as well as Volvo D11, D13 and D16 engines. The surcharge covers the work that has been done to meet the 2007 requirements, including new technology for the engines, exhaust aftertreatment systems, cooling system enhancements and changes to electronic engine controls.
