Volvo Car US Operations Inc. hosted an unveiling event for its first forklift delivery from Kion North America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January, Kion<\/a> announced an agreement with the global automotive manufacturer to supply the material handling equipment for the company\u2019s first American factory located in Berkeley County, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

A member of one of the world\u2019s largest manufacturers of industrial trucks, Kion North America<\/a> is located just five miles from the new Volvo Cars factory, which will be the global production home of the all new S60 Sedan.<\/p>\n

The fleet includes forklifts, reach trucks and tow tractors, all provided and serviced by Kion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is this the fifth Volvo factory that Kion Group<\/a> is supplying equipment to around the world, but this will be the first complete Lithium-ion fleet in automotive manufacturing in North America,\u201d said Vincent Halma, president and CEO of Kion North America<\/a>.<\/p>\n
