A second CMV Truck & Bus site has now been granted certification to sell electric Volvo trucks across Victoria
Victorian dealer CMV Truck & Bus has confirmed its transformation is continuing, with its second site now becoming a fully certified Volvo Trucks electric vehicle dealer.
CMV Truck & Bus and Volvo are both proud to announce that the Clayton dealership is now a fully certified dealer of Volvo electric trucks, joining the purpose-built Derrimut dealership that was certified late last year.
“Our workshop, parts and sales teams undertook extensive training and completed all elements of Volvo Group’s rigorous EV certification process so we could offer our customers this type of forward-thinking solution,” CMV Truck & Bus Clayton branch manager Rohan Cook says.
CMV Truck & Bus Clayton’s facility now offers state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic tools, comprehensively equipped work bays, underground pits and shortly brake and suspension testers will be available.
Further investments in these facilities and equipment have been made in order to service and maintain electric vehicles, with the site including dedicated bays for servicing electric trucks in addition to on-site charging stations.
The Volvo Trucks certified EV dealer program has been designed to ensure that dealerships are fully prepared to support customers with electric trucks.
Sales teams have been trained to consult with customers considering adding a Volvo EV to their fleet to ensure they’re selecting the right vehicle and charging configuration for their operating requirements.

As part of the certification process, technicians received in-depth technical training to have the skills and knowledge required to maintain electric vehicles, while technicians received training for safety procedures to follow when working with high-voltage systems.
“Qualified support personnel are vital on our path to zero-emissions,” Volvo Group Australia president and CEO Martin Merrick says.

“As newer, cleaner mobility solutions emerge we will always ensure that our dealer partners are at the cutting edge in terms of knowledge and competence.
“I’m delighted to see our EV capability grow, ensuring that our customers have the best business partner for their transformation journey.”

“While both our Clayton and Derrimut dealerships are EV certified, we acknowledge that this is just the beginning.
“We’re focused on supporting our customers and business partners in this transition and we’re in the process of rolling out EV certification across all of our dealerships.”
