Livestock handling equipment manufacturer IAE has taken delivery of four Volvo FH tractor units – it first Volvo trucks – after a successful trial with demonstration units.
Supplied by dealer Hartshorne, the Stoke-on-Trent-based company’s new additions are FH-500 6x2 tractors with D13-500K engine rated at 500bhp and I-Shift automated gearboxes.
They are also equipped with AEBS (Autonomous Emergency Braking System) and LKS (Lane Keeping Support), and will be maintained by Hartshorne on a five-year R&M contract.
The trucks are delivering IAE’s extensive range of galvanised steel products to UK wholesalers and each vehicle is expected to cover 120,000km a year.
