Mega Manufacturing: Custom-made Volvo Trucks in Belgium | 4K Engineering Documentary
An enormous output and yet, every-truck custom-made: this is Volvo Trucks in Belgium.
Trucks: Kings of the road with enormous power. Their manufacture demands a good eye, absolute precision and above all: perfect logistics. One of the world’s largest truck factories is located in Belgium, close to the romantic town of Ghent. It’s the ideal location, close to thousands of customers across Western Europe. This is where Volvo produces its bestseller: the all-time all-rounder “FH” – one of the most popular trucks in Europe with the most powerful engines in the industry! Approximately two hundred trucks each day! Each one unique: every truck leaving this factory is different: Mega Manufacturing individually tailored to customer requirements in a feat of logistical perfection. Timed to the minute. Around one thousand five hundred individual parts are installed by the workers in two hundred and ten operations over eight hours from the simple unadorned chassis – to a state of the art truck.
