VOLVO TRUCK used truck director Peter Groome said he was "pleased with the outcome" after selling all the trucks entered in Manheim's fortnightly auction at Leeds.
He used the heavy commercial sale to target end users, who wouldn't normally buy directly from the Swedish manufacturer, with 28 Euro-5 trucks that included 18 2009-registered FH13 6x2s and 10 2008-registered FH13 6x2s, all with Globetrotter cabs.
Groome was pleased with the effort put in by Manheim to market the auction, and added: "The buyers were a mix of end users and traders, although the traders surprised us a bit. "The vehicles reached a good sale value with the main interest in the 09-registered trucks:' James Davis, Manheim's director of
CVs, revealed via the Manheim Twitter account (@lovecommercials) that the sale was a "100% sell out success! A fantastic buzz at Leeds and a significant moment for Manheim".
