Volvo acquired Mack Trucks in the year 2000. The acquisition was seen as a strategic move by Volvo to expand its presence in North America and strengthen its position in the commercial truck market. The acquisition of Mack was also seen as a way for Volvo to gain access to Mack's well-established distribution network and customer base in the United States.
