Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

In terms of fuel efficiency, the FM-440 has to settle for a bronze, and with more Euro-5 truck tests to come, that third-place position is by no means secure. However, its fuel figure is steady and consistent rather than excelling in any one area, in the nines on the motorway, eights on dual carriageway and the high sixes on the tough sections. Moreover, its handling was impeccable and the comfort for the driver is undiminished.

The question is now cost and aftermarket. Volvo isn't going to willingly yield any ground when it comes to market share, and you imagine it'll lose and gain the usual from the Oaf and Scania when it comes to fleet deals.

For residuals, nowadays, two pedals seemingly hold sway over three, and Volvo enjoys a healthy RV, probably only second to its fellow Swede.

Volvo has remained a stable leader in the UK market when it comes to providing mass-volume fleet trucks. The FM-440 is good sound product that will deliver the goods on the accountants books and to customers and drivers alike.
