The article reports on the decision of Fomento Group to purchase machines manufactured by Volvo Construction Equipment Corp. to maximize its machine availability, increase its productivity, and reduce its production cost. It has been noted that the firm has been purchasing haulers from Volvo, since these machinery can cope up with the wet haul roads and the 40 degree Celsius temperature of the mines located in Goa, India. The author also states that Fomento has also bought additional Volvo machines, such as wheel loaders and excavators, that would meet the demand of its businesses operating in India.
