Truck and Bus Wales and West open Swindon ATF and IVA

VOSA Testing
Volvo Dealer Truck and Bus Wales and West opened a two-bay ATF (Authorised Testing Facility) and IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) facility this month (October 2014) at its Swindon site.
The newly opened testing facility, located at Radway Road, Swindon, represents a £300,000 investment by Truck and Bus Wales and West. In addition to HGV, PSV, ADR and trailer testing, the new ATF facility is also offering loaded trailer and test weight hire. Truck and Bus Wales and West managing director Billy Nairn says it also offers: RPCs (reduced pollution certificate, with and without MOT tests); voluntary brake, headlamp and smoke tests; trailer servicing and PDIs (pre-delivery inspections) for new trucks. "This will be the first of our investments in ATF lanes across the group," states Nairn. "We see this facility as an added service benefit for our customers which will reduce fuel costs and downtime."
