Olympic swimming superstar Ariarne Titmus traded the pool for the driver’s seat this morning, behind the wheel of a custom-named Volvo truck - ‘Arnie’, to officially launch Australian Made Week, celebrating Aussie toughness, resilience and the power of backing local makers and manufacturers.

With a display showing the breadth and depth of the Volvo Trucks offering in Australia, Volvo Trucks has also had the honour of being awarded the 2025 International Truck of The Year. 2024 saw a slew of new features and vehicles join the Volvo Trucks stable, from the sleek new FH Aero to the all-new Euro 6 D17 engine, our most powerful yet.

Ahead of Australian Made Week, Volvo Group Australia (Volvo) today marks a pivotal moment for Australian manufacturing, announcing it will build the first-ever Australian-made heavy duty electric trucks at the company’s Wacol facility in Brisbane next year.
