Supplied by the Aberdeen dealerpoint of Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North & Scotland, the operator’s latest arrival is an FH-500 in a 6x2 pusher axle format with a Globetrotter XL cab painted in Millennium Silver.
The vehicle is powered by a D13K 13-litre engine rated at 493bhp, coupled to an I-Shift 12-speed automated manual transmission system.
As with all vehicles in the 60-strong Colin Lawson Transport fleet, the latest Volvo FH will spend two years on long-distance haulage before being moved to local work for around eight years.
“I have a long association with Volvo trucks, which is represented in our heritage fleet with examples from the F10, F12 and F16 ranges,” says Colin Lawson, managing director.
He adds: “Our frontline Volvo trucks are flagship vehicles built for drivers. I am sold with I-Shift; it is a superb transmission system. Volvo trucks have earned their place in our business.”
