Memberships are in three levels going from Full Member, Associate Member to Supporting member depending on if Open-S products are developed, produced inhouse or sourced. Since early 2021 Volvo CE has delivered quick couplers and adaptors directly from the factory and is now joining the Open-S Alliance as Supporting Member, in a bid to make customers\u2019 day-to-day work even more productive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are very happy that Volvo Construction Equipment also formally joins the alliance as a technology leading OEM. We also see that the interest is growing from other excavator brands. I am firmly convinced that open and standardized interfaces will give end customers major advantages.
