Volvo CE Announces Closure of Rokbak Business

March 17, 2026 — As part of a long-term strategic shift, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) will close its Rokbak business and concentrate resources on its portfolio of other hauling solutions.

For more than four decades, Rokbak — formerly Terex Trucks — has delivered reliable off-highway articulated haulers to customers worldwide. However, rising operational and supply chain costs, combined with global trade challenges, including U.S. tariffs, have significantly impacted financial performance, making continued operation unsustainable. 

Volvo CE is committed to ensuring Rokbak customers and partners remain successful, providing dedicated support throughout this phase-out and into the future. 

Volvo CE will concentrate resources on advancing and launching innovative hauling solutions. The Motherwell facility in Scotland will continue as a key hub for designing and manufacturing Volvo rigid haulers and will drive development of future product lines. 

This closure is subject to completion of a collective consultation process which is expected to be concluded by Q3 2026.

Volvo CE will work closely with unions, government representatives, and regulatory bodies to ensure a responsible and supportive transition for any employees who may be impacted by this decision.
