Devereux Transport rates Volvo lease and fuel initiatives 23 September 2011

Six new Volvo FH 6x2 tractor units have been released into service by Devereux Transport of Billingham.

Managing director Ken Devereux reports that fuel economy of the FH13-460s is already good: "We're seeing between 10mpg and up to 11mpg, depending on the run they're doing," he comments.

The first two FHs are on Volvo's Flexi-Lease programme, with Devereux able to can take advantage of a breakout clause, if required, after only 12 months into the 24-month contract.

Devereux states that having the option to return the trucks after 12 months gives him peace of mind – noting that operators like him, who are trying the Volvo product for the first time in a number of years, can't go too far wrong.

All the Volvo FH trucks in the Devereux Transport fleet, including those that are on Volvo's Flexi-Lease programme, have been equipped with Dynafleet Telematics, not least to provide accurate fuel economy measurement and management.

All the trucks were supplied by the Stockton-on-Tees branch of Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North & Scotland.
