Ron Huibers, Volvo Trucks’ president of sales and marketing in North America, is leaving the truck-making unit to become president of Volvo Penta Americas, which makes boat engines.

A replacement for Huibers at Volvo Trucks is expected to be named during the fall, a company spokesman said. Huibers became president of sales and marketing on Jan. 1.

Separately, Volvo said it will launch new versions of its Volvo FH and Volvo FH16 heavy-duty trucks in Europe on Sept. 5. The truck will use a new independent front suspension system.

Volvo Trucks spokesman Brandon Borgna said the new suspension system will not be available on trucks sold in North America.
