RGF Logistics puts Euro 6 FH to the fuel consumption test 21 March 2014

RGF Logistics is conducting fuel trials on two Volvo New FH Euro-6 6x2 tractor units with a view to comparing them against other vehicles in its 80strong fleet.

With annual mileages of 153,000km, fuel efficiency and dealer support are critical, according to operations manager Terry Harris.

The trucks were supplied by Hartshorne Motor Group and will also be maintained overnight at the dealership on a two-year Volvo Gold R&M contract.

"The Volvo FH's driver appeal and our good experience with resale value in the past were key reasons for continuing to choose Volvo," says Harris.

His new FH trucks are powered by Volvo's D13K-460, Euro-6 engine rated at 460bhp. They were specified with the Globetrotter XL cab will be trunking with Lawrence David curtainside trailers, some of which are fitted with Moffett truck-mounted forklifts.

The trucks will be put to work running out of four of the firm's Birmingham and Corby depots delivering logistics services across the UK.
