Welsh firm takes a shine to Volvo FL RCV28 September 2017

North Wales waste management business Williams & Williams has taken delivery of a high-spec Volvo FL 4x2 refuse collection vehicle (RCV).

Supplied by dealer Thomas Hardie Commercials, of Deeside, the FL’s bodywork was manufactured and fitted by Kidderminster-based NTM, and its 13.2 cubic metre capacity ‘K-Maxi’ refuse compaction body is fitted with NTM’s barlift.

Plated for operation at 16 tonnes gvw, Williams & Williams’ short-wheelbase FL 4x2 rigid is equipped with Volvo’s 8-litre D8K six-cylinder diesel rated at 250bhp. The truck is also fitted with an Allison automatic gearbox and the drive axle is air suspended.

Unusually for an RCV, the spec includes polished 19.5in aluminium wheels with low profile 285/70R tyres. The vehicle is also equipped with Kelsa light bars, sunvisor and a wrapped livery and paint job.
