• Guinness has taken delivery of five Volvo FLIO tractive units. They will join Guinness's 25-strong trunking fleet at London's Park Royal.
Volvo won the order because it could supply to GuMness's main requirement specifications — a maximum unladen weight of 6,200kg and a minimum power output of 224kW (300hp). Weight is kept down by fitting the FL1Os with daycabs and Alcoa alloy wheels.
The trucks will carry either kegs or ISO tanks, or will pull conventional tanker trailers up to 38 tonnes GCW. Heathrow Commercials will supply and service them on Volvo contract maintenance.
If they are a success they could replace the fleet of Leyland Daf 2500s.
