Grundy & Co Excavations adds Volvo trucks 20 May 2011

Kevin Grundy, Grundy & Co Excavations' managing director, has revealed that quality support from Volvo Dealer Thomas Hardie Commercials was the main reason adding more Volvo content his tipper fleet.

Commenting on his purchase of three more FMX 8-wheel tippers, Grundy says: "Thomas Hardie can't do enough for us. The support we receive is second to none, and [we feel] that a high level of dealer support is vital to us, as we operate seven days a week between 7am and 5pm."

The Volvo FMX tippers are equipped with Volvo's high torque D13C380 13-litre diesel engine, which develops 380hp and 1,900Nm between 1,000 and 1,400 rpm.

The D13C uses SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology to achieve Euro-5 emission compliance, and the AdBlue tank is sited on the nearside chassis rail.
