Volvo Trucks is to sell the first series-manufactured new Volvo FH truck to the highest bidder on eBay.
The company says the truck is a one-off collector's item and all the proceeds will go to charity – with bids starting at one euro (81p).
Starting today (19 September 2012), the auction will be open for 10 days to bidders from all over Europe, including Russia, Turkey and Israel.
Volvo Trucks will donate all the proceeds to Star for Life, a South African non-profit organisation that aims to reduce the number of HIV-positive high school students.
Then, in the spring of 2013, the winner will be invited to hand over the money in person at a ceremony in South Africa.
"Our aim with this auction is to raise as much money as possible for the 'Star for Life' programme," says Claes Nilsson, President Volvo Trucks EMEA.
