Volvo
Trucks is bringing its new Euro-6 FH16-750, in 6x2 tractor unit configuration,
to the Truckfest event in Peterborough, UK from 4-5 May.
“We are very excited
to be bringing the new FH16-750 Euro-6 to Truckfest”, said Volvo Trucks UK
managing director Arne Knaben.
“Truckfest visitors have
tremendous passion and enthusiasm, so will know that the Volvo FH16 will prove
to be a major draw for enthusiasts and drivers alike,” he added.
“Now, with the latest
Euro-6 driveline, we hope lots of people will enjoy being able to get up close
and have a good look at this amazing truck, in addition to the other new Volvos
on the stand,” he said.
Seven other trucks from
Volvo’s Euro-6 range will also appear on the stand at Truckfest. In addition to
three FH tractor units, there will be a new Volvo FM-500, equipped with the
high spec Globetrotter LXL cab and Volvo’s innovative Dynamic Steering.
Two new 4x2 rigids – a new
Volvo FL and a new Volvo FE – will be on display featuring Volvo’s latest
automated transmissions. Whilst the 4.4m wheelbase FL is equipped with I-Sync,
the 6.45m wheelbase FE benefits from the AT2612E version of I-Shift, which was
introduced on the FE series with the introduction of the Euro-6 version in
2013.
Volvo’s Euro-6 range
line-up at Truckfest Peterborough is completed by a new Volvo FMX 8x4 tipper.
Demonstrating Volvo’s capability when it comes to high specification
eight-wheelers, the 5.1m wheelbase FMX is fitted with a Globetrotter cab.
The truck is powered by a
13-litre D13K engine, rated at 540hp, driving through an AT2612E I-Shift
automated transmission.
Completing the line-up on
the Volvo stand will be a specially-painted FH16-750 celebrating
Birmingham-based H D Rickett’s 50-years in business. ∎
