Neill & Brown Global Logistics has taken delivery of the first trucks in its fleet renewal programme, two Euro 6 Volvo FH tractors.
Supplied by dealer Crossroads Truck and Bus, the 6x2 Globetrotter-cabbed FH units are powered by Volvo's D13K-500, Euro 6 engine rated at 500bhp.
Each is fitted with an I-Shift automated gearbox equipped with Volvo's I-See, which uses GPS to 'remember' routes run by any similar vehicle, run by any operator, to optimise fuel performance.
The trucks also feature I-Park Cool, an integrated parking cooler system which ensures comfortable in-cab temperatures.
The Hessle, East Yorkshire-based company has a 40-strong fleet and has operated Volvo trucks for more than 30 years.
Its fleet renewal programme is planned to take five years with Neill & Brown Global saying that's driven by the need to boost fuel efficiency.
The company also already uses Dynafleet, Volvo's online transport telematics and information system, to maximise fuel performance.
