Knight Orders 370 New 2010 Trucks from Volvo

Knight Transportation has placed an order for 370 2010 model Volvo VN trucks with selective catalytic reduction technology, Volvo Trucks North America said Monday.

Volvo uses SCR technology to control emissions and comply with Environmental Protection Agency regulations for 2010 model engines.

Prior to the Knight order, Volvo had manufactured 85 trucks with SCR, the truck maker said. It will begin delivering the trucks Knight ordered in April.

Knight is a major Volvo customer, and about 3,000 of the 3,736 trucks in its fleet are Volvo trucks. Knight will use the new trucks across its fleet.
