D Hughes Demolition operates primarily in the North West of England, with a client list comprising of several development companies, local authorities and NHS Trusts. It welcomes its new Volvo FMX into a fleet with vehicles ranging from high reach excavators to a fire engine.
Supplied by Paul McNicholas, customer solutions manager at Thomas Hardie Commercials, the new truck comes mounted with a Hiab Multilift hookloader body and VBG drawbar coupling.
The FMX is powered by a 420 hp Volvo D13K Euro-6 engine, capable of producing 2,100 Nm of torque. Expected to be in service for at least the next four years, it is also equipped with a 12-speed I-Shift transmission which is said to make driving safer and deliver improved fuel economy.
