Volvo CE's plant in Eskilstuna develops construction machinery and manufactures components and has 2,000 employees.
Compared with the pandemic year 2020, demand for Volvo CE's machines has increased significantly during both the first and second quarters of 2021.
Order intake rose by 35 percent in the second quarter and is increasing in Europe as well as North and South America.
In Asia, on the other hand, there is a slight decrease as a result of the Chinese authorities' reduction in investment in infrastructure, according to the Volvo Group's quarterly report.
Globally, Volvo has received orders for 71,736 construction machines during the first half of 2021, compared with 47,320 for the corresponding period last year.
