In another effort to make the world a cleaner safer place for our lungs, Volvo Powertrains will open up a new design and testing facility in Maryland.
EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson, Maryland officials and company representatives toured the $150 million facility that will design, test and produce cleaner, high-tech engines for trucks and other heavy duty vehicles.
“For the past century, diesel engines have been America’s economic workhorse — reliable, fuel efficient and long lasting. Thanks to the innovations of Volvo and our industry partners, this economic workhorse is expanding into an environmental workhorse,” said EPA Administrator Johnson.
This new facility is also set to help the Maryland economy by creating 1800 jobs, while continuing to advance diesel design into even cleaner running engines.
