Decreasing environmental footprint in China
Constantly increasing traffic is causing heavy impact on air and water pollution in China. In addition, waste oil is freely discharged from mechanic workshops into the sewage system, which then diverts the untreated water into lakes and rivers.
The oil contains organic acids and heavy metals, which are highly carcinogenic and may cause deformity of wild animals and vegetation. Today about 50 per cent of China's shallow groundwater is polluted to some extent, and about half of urban areas are exposed to serious groundwater pollution.
To help reverse the pollution trend, Volvo Penta China works actively with its authorized dealers to increase awareness about pollution. One important factor in exhaust reduction is to keep engines well maintained.
Therefore, the Heart-care inspection campaign was launched several years ago, with focus on engine inspection and customer training. Through the Heart-care campaign, engines can be maintained and kept in a good condition to avoid unnecessary emissions and reduce waste oil.
The Heart-care inspection campaign brings several benefits, like establishing a trusting and loyal relationship with the customer through engine inspection and seminars.
It also promotes the authorized dealer parts sales and field service business.
Last, but not least it also helps enhancing environmental awareness and engagement among the employees.
Increasing road safety in Indonesia
In Indonesia, renewing and updating one's driver license is expensive and not always paid by the transport companies. This leads to the fact that many truck drivers are conducting their vehicles with inappropriate driver licenses.
