Volvo premiered an FH16 650 8x4 heavy haulage tractor at Road Transport Expo, which is the latest eye-catcher on its impressive demonstration fleet.
The 180-tonner is full factory spec, with the exception of a Popp towing hook at the front. The Globetrotter XL-cabbed tractor, which features a top-of-the-range Drive 16 ++ trim, was coupled to a Broshuis low-loader trailer carrying an FM 460 Lite 6x2 tractor.
Also taking pride of place on the stand was a Roger Dyson-bodied sliding bed recovery truck. Featuring an FL crewcab, it’s one 118 supplied to the AA.
Volvo is the only truck maker to offer a full range of zero-tailpipe-emission trucks, a large selection of which it took to RTX. Visitors were offered the chance to drive both an FL Electric 16-tonner and an FM Electric artic in the Ride & Drive, the latter proving to be particularly popular.
