Pel-Job

In 1995 the French compact machine manufacturer Pel-Job Group became part of Volvo Construction Equipment. Soon the compact wheel loaders were discontinued in favour of the compact excavator line.

January 1st 2000 marks a name change for the range of compact excavators manufactured by Volvo Construction Equipment. Previously branded Pel-Job, they from that day carry the name Volvo and the Volvo product designations have been adopted. The change follows the earlier acquisition of the French company by Volvo Construction Equipment.
