Three dealer service teams from the Volvo Trucks North America network are heading to the global championships in Gothenberg, Sweden, in September for the Volvo International Service Training Award (VISTA) 2026 World Finals.
"VISTA is one of my favorite programs because it represents everything that makes the Volvo Trucks service network so strong — passion, teamwork, technical excellence and a relentless commitment to supporting our customers," says Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America. "Programs like this highlight the expertise across our dealer network, and seeing these teams earn a place on the global stage is a significant accomplishment. It's a proud moment for them and the dealerships they represent."

There are more than 100 countries in VISTA and thousands of service professionals in the global dealer network engage in rounds of theoretical and practical challenges, including timed diagnostics, troubleshooting exercises, and team-based problem solving that replicates real workshop conditions.
"Continuous learning is critical in today's rapidly evolving service environment and VISTA brings that learning to life in a way that's engaging and rewarding," says Steven Parkins, vice president of Volvo Trucks Academy. "The competition reflects the passion our dealership teams bring to supporting customers every day and highlights the importance of investing in ongoing training across the Volvo Trucks network."
The North American teams bound for VISTA are:
- Regenerates, Beaver Truck Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is the fifth time the dealership has sent a team to VISTA.
- Adaptive Crews, Sterling Truck & Trailer Sales, Regina, Saskatechewan.
- ~~~VN4~~~, Bruckner's Truck & Equipment, Dallas.
