Volvo Penta Assembly Plant

Volvo Penta’s entire range of gasoline engines and many of the company’s sterndrives are produced in Lexington, Tennesse, and distributed worldwide. Volvo Penta recently made significant investments and improvements to the 210,000-square-foot facility, including installation of a state-of-the-art diesel engine test cell that enables the company to perform on-site testing and specification certification. The expansion also included addition of a production line for the final assembly of off-road diesel engines. This operation allows for the customization of orders and reduced delivery lead times for the company’s growing customer base in the North American market.
