Volvo Financial Services (VFS) is offering customers in the US an enhanced finance programme on the purchase or lease of a model year 2020 or 2019 Volvo VNL, VNR, VNX or VHD model during this time of financial uncertainty as a result of Covid-19.

“We understand how important it is – especially during this unprecedented situation with the coronavirus – for trucking companies to maintain strong cash flow,” said Stephen Yonce, vice president of VFS. “To do our part, Volvo Financial Services continues to seek out ways to help our customers through these difficult times.”

The ‘Hammer Down 2.0‘ programme extends the first payment for 60 days for qualified buyers of Volvo VNL, VNR and VNX models and for 90 days for qualified buyers of VHD models in dealer stock inventory. In addition, the programme offers low to no down payments for qualified applicants. For model year 2019 trucks, customers can receive up to US$5,000 payment credit on initial monthly instalment or lease payments, and up to US$3,000 payment credit on initial monthly instalment or lease payments for model year 2020 models.

Daycab models will also receive an engine plan and purchased Engine Aftertreatment (EATS) coverage for three years or 300,000 miles. VNL, VNR and VNX sleeper models will receive an engine plan and purchased EATS coverage for four years or 500,000 miles.
