Volvo D12 Series Engine Now Remanufactured in North America
The
Volvo Reman D12s are remanufactured at the Middletown Remanufacturing
Center (MRC) in Middletown, PA. MRC has provided North American
customers with superior remanufactured parts for more than 30 years. Volvo Reman D12s are available through Volvo Truck dealers.
Each engine is delivered as a “basic engine” (long
block), which allows customers to re-use external engine components
such as alternators from their original D12. Previously, remanufactured
D12s for North America were shipped from Europe as complete engines.
Each
Volvo Reman Basic Engine includes a remanufactured cylinder block,
cylinder head, accessory drive, connecting rods and oil pump. The
engine also includes new piston rings, cylinder liners, bearings,
bushings, gaskets and seals.
“The Volvo D12 series enjoys
tremendous success with customers who value its performance,
reliability and fuel economy,” said Darin Redmon, Volvo Trucks engine
marketing manager – parts marketing. “Remanufacturing the D12 gives
customers a cost-effective option for extending the operating life of
their Volvo VN or Volvo VHD, with new engine performance.”
Remanufactured
Volvo D12 engines are completely disassembled and cleaned. Each
component receives a rigorous in-process inspection, measured against
Volvo’s original equipment and Volvo reman specifications, the company
said. All critical components and “high wear” items are replaced with
new components. Machining of remanufactured components includes
stringent quality control processes, using precision CNC machining
centers, to ensure performance and reliability standards are met.
