Volvo FMX tips it for J O’Doherty Haulage

Rigids Tippers
North London-based construction operator J O’Doherty Haulage has taken delivery of 10 new Volvo FMX tippers, part of an upgrade of its 60-strong fleet ahead of the introduction of the ultra-low emissions zone in London next year.

Supplied by Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London, the operator’s new additions are 415bhp FMX 8x4 tippers with I-Shift automated transmissions. The trucks have been specified with Day cabs and Loadmaster bodies, by Thompsons.

The new trucks have also been specified with additional safety features, including windows and cameras, to comply with the haulier’s FORS Gold accreditation.

“We are 99% Volvo: our local dealerpoint in Enfield, part of Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London, is only half a mile from us and we’ve always worked with them,” says owner Jim O’Doherty.

“We get good service and good residual values, too.”

The FMXs come with extended warranties, but will be maintained in house.
