• French-based haulier Transalliance is basing 30 new lefthand-drive Volvos in the UK.
Allot the F1112 tractive units have been supplied by UK dealers Hartshorne and MC Truck and Bus.
The Volvos will work on contracts across the Continent from south coast ports in the UK. Optional tanks expand the fuel capacity to almost 1,200 litres so the trucks can take advantage of cheaper fuel prices on the Continent.
The sleeper-cab trucks are plated at 40 tonnes; they are fitted with the 12-litre engine rated at 38010.
• See Dealer News on page 50 for potential savings on Volvos imported from the Continent.
