The firm, which is widely regarded as among the most environmentally-driven businesses in the global cement industry, says sustainability was key to its decision to buy Volvo trucks.
"Volvo stood alone in meeting our ambitions in terms of our carbon footprint," states production manager Phil Wellbeloved.
"We also chose the FM over the FH because it was that bit lighter, but still enabled us to increase our previous payload capability by 1.9 tonnes to 30 tonnes," he continues.
"The lightweight Estepe centre axle also helps payload potential of the 44 tonnes GCW trucks," he adds.
Equipped with Globetrotter cabs, fridges and part-leather upholstery, Cenin's new Volvo FM tractors are powered by Volvo's six-cylinder D13K engines delivering 500bhp and 2,500 Nm of torque matched to the intelligent Volvo I-shift AMT (automated manual transmission).
"It was fascinating that, when it came to recruiting drivers, they appeared more interested in what truck they would be driving, rather than the shift patterns or salary," continues Wellbeloved.
"When I said it would be a Volvo their interest in the job simply intensified."
The two FMs are expected to cover some 150,000 km/annum either collecting raw material or delivering cement.
"It is all about sustainability and therefore we run a cyclical operation that means the Feldbinder bulk tanks being hauled by the Volvo FMs are always loaded," says Wellbeloved.
And he adds. "With our old haulier we were getting about 7mpg, but with the Volvo FMs this has leapt up to as much as 9.8mpg.
"This represents a significant annual reduction in fuel usage and emissions, which again plays an important part in our sustainability ambitions."
The new Volvo FM trucks are on six-weekly O licence inspections, carried out at Volvo Truck and Bus Wales & West's Newport dealership.
"The team at Newport carry out inspections for us in the evening, which means our regular operations are completely unaffected," explains Wellbeloved.
"This is real service and, alongside the brilliant trucks and superb reliability, puts Volvo in a league of its own. I am very happy that our sustainable business is moving forwards with Volvo in support."
