Due to rising costs and global trade challenges, Volvo CE will close its Rokbak articulated hauler business and concentrate resources on its portfolio of other hauling solutions.
For more than four decades, Rokbak, formerly Terex Trucks, has delivered reliable off-highway articulated haulers to customers worldwide. However, rising operational and supply chain costs, combined with global trade challenges such as the U.S. tariffs, have significantly impacted financial performance, making continued operation unsustainable. Production of Rokbak articulated haulers is expected to stop in the second half of 2026, subject to a consultation process.
According to a press statement, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is committed to the ongoing success of Rokbak customers and dealer partners. Dedicated support will be available, and customers and dealers will continue to receive aftermarket services support throughout the transition and into the future. A core Rokbak team will remain in place to deliver aftermarket services, including parts, sales, technical support and training.
“This is an incredibly difficult time for our entire company, our valued employees, and our loyal customers and partners,” says Paul Douglas, managing director of Rokbak. “We are extremely grateful for all the support we’ve received over the years. Our focus now is on ensuring a smooth transition, providing ongoing support to our fantastic team, customers and partners, and honoring our commitments.”
