Steve King, the company's managing director, says his new tractor units were specified with a 500bhp engine, I-Shift automatic gearbox, rear air suspension and single-reduction drive axles.

The new tractors will operate at weights up to 80-tonnes gross under STGO 'Cat 2' authorisation.

"We have established that the Volvo product suits our needs perfectly," state King.

"Over the years we have been tempted away from the product once or twice by offers that were simply too good to refuse. But we have always returned to Volvo. And the two latest units confirm that we have made the right decision."
