C.M.V VOLVO - ABOUT US

South Central Trucks Volvo is a subsidiary of the CMV Group, a privately owned SA based company that was established in 1934 with a staff of five. It has developed into a third generation family owned organisation, employing over 1000 employees with substantial operations in South Australian and Victoria. The CMV Group has over 70 years experience in a variety of markets, including Australia’s automotive, commercial and agricultural industries.

In 1968 the CMV Group established one of Australia’s first Volvo dealers – CMV Voltruck. At that time, Volvo trucks had only been introduced into Australia the year before, despite having been in Europe since 1927. Since then, the business has grown substantially and Volvo is now a main stream brand in the Australian market.

CMV Voltruck changed its name to South Central Trucks in 2006, following the acquisition of the Adelaide Mack dealership. South Central Trucks is one of South Australia’s largest truck dealerships, with a reputation for quality service and strong customer relations. South Central Trucks Volvo was the Australian Volvo Truck dealer of the year in 2005 and runner up in 2006.



The Volvo Brand

Volvo Trucks celebrated their 80th birthday in 2007. Founded in 1927 in Sweden, Volvo AB has become one of the world’s leading providers of transport solutions, represented in 130 countries globally. Volvo has many truck assembly plants, including a factory in Brisbane which builds all FM & FH product sold in Australia. Having a local manufacturing base means Volvo trucks can be custom built to suit a customer’s requirements and Australian conditions.
