Spayka LLC, one of the largest hauliers in Armenia, has signed a contract for 100 trucks with Volvo Trucks in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
So far, 45 vehicles have been delivered, and the remaining 55 trucks will be delivered in the first quarter of next year.
Fuel efficiency and driver comfort are being claimed as Spayka's main criteria for the purchase. No pricing details have been revealed.
The order covers Volvo FH tractors equipped with the 13-litre 480hp engine and Globetrotter XL cab. The trucks are all fitted with Volvo's I-Shift automatic transmission.
"We are sure that the trucks ordered will make our customer's business more profitable and will serve as a benchmark for the Armenian international transportation industry," comments Henrik Appelbom, head of Volvo Trucks in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
