• Two FL10 tippers and two FL7 tippers are exhibited on the Volvo stands (75-77 and 83).
The new lightweight B-ride suspension for FL7 6x4, and FL7 and FL10 eightwheelers also debuts. Volvo claims the B-ride suspension gives better bogie articulation for improved off-road performance.
The FM and JE Lea-liveried F10 8x4 has the 5.6m wheelbase and is powered by the Volvo TD 101F intercooled 9.6 litre 220kW (299hp) engine, with the optional SR 62 gearbox. It has a Weightman alloy tipping body with Edbro ram gear, and an in-cab read-out for the integral weighing system.
The other FL10 is operated by Alfred Hymas and has a Keenline bulk tipping aluminium body with Hyva ram. Both vehicles feature B-ride suspension.
