Who we are

A family business, servicing innovation since 1954

Sodimavi was founded in 1954 by Pierre Rebuffé in Artenay, near Orléans. What began as an agricultural and industrial machinery dealership turned decisively towards trucks when his son Patrick joined the business: Sodimavi became a Volvo dealer in the mid-1970s and has represented the brand ever since.

The group is now run by the third generation — Thibaut, Grégoire and Tristan Rebuffé — and covers eight French départements from Normandy to the Loire Valley, with Volvo Trucks, Isuzu and Kögel under one roof.

Seventy years on, the priorities have not changed: know our customers' business, keep their vehicles on the road, and stay one step ahead on the technology that makes their fleets more productive and cleaner.

What we do

Four services, eight locations, one team

Whatever you drive and wherever you are in our area, everything is handled by the same group — sales, workshop, parts counter and rental desk.

Our brands

Three manufacturers we know inside out

Sodimavi is the official dealer for Volvo Trucks, Isuzu Trucks and Kögel in all eight of its branches — sales, workshop and parts for each of the three brands.

Sustainability

Cleaner transport, in practice

Reducing the footprint of road transport is part of the job. We run our own environmental programme across the eight sites, and we help customers move to the alternatives that actually fit their operations.

In May 2026 we hosted the Volvo Trucks LNG Tour in Caen, Chartres and Orléans, putting gas-powered long-haul tractors in front of the operators who are weighing up alternatives to diesel — alongside the electric Volvo FH now in our range.
