Volvo Trucks has announced special discounts for recent veterans. Veterans with a valid and current Commercial Driver’s License and who have been honorably discharged within the past 24 months can get a half-percent discount off approved finance rates for new highway or vocational units financed by Volvo Financial Services. Discounts must be obtained through a Volvo Trucks dealer. Veterans of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard are eligible.

Vehicles must be delivered and funded by Dec. 31, 2015, to qualify for the discount. Discount is limited to three units per veteran. For more information, contact your local Volvo dealer.
