Volvo CE Appoints Laothani Tractor as New Dealer in Laos
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has recently announced its partnership with Laothani Tractor as its new authorised dealer in Laos, strengthening its sales, service and aftermarket support in the country's growing construction and mining equipment markets. The partnership was formally inaugurated with a customer roadshow at Laothani Tractor's facility in Vientiane on 4 November 2026.

The collaboration combines Volvo CE's construction equipment portfolio and technological expertise with Laothani Tractor's local market knowledge and service capabilities. The dealership will offer wheel loaders, excavators, articulated haulers, compactors and electric construction machines to customers across the mining, infrastructure and construction sectors.

The partnership comes as Laos advances its 10th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP), which prioritises infrastructure development, economic growth, social development and climate resilience. These initiatives are expected to increase demand for construction machinery, particularly in road construction, mining, transport infrastructure and rural development.

Volvo CE aims to strengthen equipment availability and operational efficiency through improved spare parts supply, technician training and on-site maintenance services. Based in Vientiane, Laothani Tractor will support customers across Laos, including remote regions, through field services and satellite branches where required.

Wilson Shee, Head of Market Cambodia at Volvo CE, emphasised the importance of reliable aftermarket support in helping customers maximise machine productivity. He highlighted the company's commitment to providing spare parts, technical training and maintenance services to minimise equipment downtime.

Ohsioungkham, General Manager, Laothani Tractor, said the partnership would strengthen customer support while contributing to Laos's infrastructure development and economic growth.

The collaboration also supports Laos's sustainability ambitions through Volvo CE's electric construction equipment and charging solutions, which can help reduce emissions from construction activities.

During the inauguration and customer roadshow, customers experienced Volvo CE's new-generation excavators and compaction equipment and interacted with the local sales and service teams.

The partnership is expected to enhance Volvo CE's market presence in Laos while supporting the country's expanding infrastructure, mining and construction sectors.
