Volvo Trucks has set a new benchmark for heavy-duty trucks with the launch of its latest electric models with improved performance, flexibility and ranges up to 700 km.

Hookwood-based Britaniacrest Recycling has expanded its operations by acquiring two FH Aero 500 6x2 tractor units and a FMX 420 8x4 tipper. The delivery continues a long-standing relationship between the businesses, with Volvo Trucks selected again due to its reputation for reliability and service support.

England’s oldest family laundry business has taken a bold step into the future with the arrival of a new Volvo FM Electric. Buckleigh Laundry will replace an older diesel truck with the battery-powered 4x2 rigid – a move that will see it cut 32 tonnes of carbon emissions from its transport fleet each year.
