Paving quality roads is a source of pride for P.

The Volvo CE fleet includes two DD100 asphalt compactors, four DD90B asphalt compactors and a P5320B ABG tracked sensor paver.

Meanwhile in Maharashtra, road construction contractor Deshmukh & Co completed the redevelopment of a 130 km road from Aurangabad to Dhule in just four months where a Volvo P4370B ABG sensor paver was part of the job. Over in West Bengal, contractor Bharat Vanijya is using a fleet of Volvo machines for an 84 km road project from Bankura to Purulia.
