Matt Heath, general manager, fleet sales at Secondhand Trucks, said: “Plenty of people who visited the recent Truckfest show saw an identical truck, which took centre stage on our stand. This truck is from a Volvo main dealer and is suitable for either an ownerdriver or a fleet operator.

“The benefits of purchasing this particular vehicle are that it comes with excellent whole-life costs, is Euro-6, has good fuel economy, and is customised. It has had one driver and been owned from new. We believe we are the best supplier of this type of truck because of our reputation for unrivalled quality.” Price on application.
