• Swift, Lep International's distribution arm, has invested nearly 21.3m in 40 rigids (28 Volvo FL617s and 112 AWD 118-14/17-8s) equipped with Lawrence David's curtainsider bodywork.
They will be used to service Swift's Peugeot parts distribution contract with Gefco and on its own freight network.
The 8.64m bodies offer 2.59m-high side access. Ray Smith 1.5-tonne cantilever taillifts form the rear closures together with a 500mm top flap. All are assembled using Lawrence David's all-bolted, zinc-coated steel construction.
