Volvo Trucks North America’s independent, authorized dealer Vanguard Truck Centers recently acquired Nacarato Truck Centers, becoming one of Volvo Trucks’ largest dealer groups in North America. With the acquisition, Vanguard now has 28 Volvo full-service and parts-and-service-only locations in 11 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Vanguard assumed full ownership of the Nacarato locations, including all existing stock and parts.
“This acquisition is not just about numbers. It's about joining two exemplary dealer groups to implement best practices, bolster synergies, and continue growing customer satisfaction, expanding customer access to the seamless support and services they have come to expect from both dealer groups,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president of VTNA.

Founded in 1976 in Nashville, Tennessee, Nacarato Truck Centers established itself as a key player in the commercial truck industry with a network of nine Volvo Trucks dealerships and service centers throughout Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nacarato Truck Centers to the Vanguard team,” said Tom Ewing, president and CEO of Vanguard Truck Centers. “Bringing together our dealer groups will be a fun challenge, with enormous opportunity for employees and customers of both organizations. This investment indicates Vanguard’s continued belief in Volvo Trucks’ long-term positive trajectory, with best-in-class products and services for our customers.”
