London recycling firm installs flagship Volvo construction vehicles09 November 2017

Wimbledon’s NJB Recycling has recently put five new Volvo trucks into operation, including three Volvo FL 4x2 18-tonne rigid skip loaders and two FMX 32-tonne grab-equipped, 8x4 tippers.

All of the new trucks come with NJB Recycling’s Union Jack livery, which for the first time features a safety-compliant, reflective cab wrap.

Supplied by Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London, the trio of FE-250 skip loaders are with fitted with Hyva skip bodies that include remote control operation for increased safety levels. The 410hp FMX rigids were specified with Thompson tipper bodies and grabs.

Delivered with four-year Volvo service contracts, the group are also fitted with Volvo’s i-Shift automated transmission system, which has quickly proved popular with the firm’s drivers.

FORS Silver accredited and Crossrail Compliant, NJB Recycling also viewed Volvo Trucks as having an environmental advantage. “Volvo’s Euro-6 engine solutions for short haul vehicles operating in stop start traffic is class leading,” managing director Jamie Bowie reports.

The company’s Union Jack cab wrap evolved around the time of the 2012 London Olympic Games. The Volvos debut a new reflective version, which complements other safety equipment such as additional cameras and side scan systems.
