Volvo Trucks Australia has announced it has appointed former truck journalist Matt Wood as its Fuel Efficiency manager, a newly created role.
Volvo Trucks Australia vice president, Mitch Peden says Matt Wood will play a leading role in the introduction of future innovation aimed at driving enhanced fuel efficiency from the Swedish maker in Australia.
“The service Matt will offer will further build the return on investment potential for Volvo Truck users through business consultation and driver education,” Mitch Peden said.
