This is liked among drivers, and has a choice of engine sizes (both SGR & EGR) and cabs. Operators need have no qualms about I-Shift: which functions smoothly and reliably in soft ground or when reversing on to road-laying plant. The heavier engines give punchy performance at the price of a little payload. On the road, the FM handles well, while the excellent cab interior lends an upmarket feel to a truck able to cope with a tough environment. Also to be had as a 6x4 tractor unit for 44-tonne operation. For weight-conscious operators, Volvo's D11 engine (offering a 140kg weight saving) will shortly be available on FM tippers. too.
