Crown Waste Management is a waste management solutions provider, offering waste and resource management, recycling, aggregate and plant hire services from its Nuneaton headquarters. Its new FMXs join a fleet consisting of 90 vehicles across all sizes.
Crown Waste Management’s new FMXs all feature a D13K 420 hp Euro-6 Step E engine, which is said to be capable of producing 2,100 Nm of torque. They are paired with Thompsons tipper bodywork and driven through Volvo’s 12-speed automatic I-Shift transmission, which are claimed to make driving safer.
The vehicles are also equipped with Volvo’s Active Safety+ package. This includes some of the company’s active safety technologies, such as adaptive cruise control, an advanced emergency brake system and a lane departure warning system.
Crown Waste Management’s new FMXs are expected to clock up to 70,000 km annually, working Monday through Friday for the company’s construction customers. The workload will also include the government’s HS2 project.
