Grupo Primafrio has expanded its fleet with 800 new Volvo FH13 4×2 Tractor Aero vehicles equipped with I-Save engines. This measure is part of a comprehensive strategy for continuous fleet modernization aimed at efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With this new investment, the average age of the fleet of the Spanish company, which includes more than 3,200 vehicles, is only 1.2 years.
The partnership between Primafrio and Volvo Trucks has strengthened over the past few years and represents a strategic alliance focused on technological advancement and operational excellence. Over 50% of Primafrio’s current fleet consists of Volvo vehicles, highlighting the close collaboration between the two companies.
Technological Advancements and Safety Standards
The new Volvo FH models feature innovative characteristics such as the Aero cab and the Camera Monitor System (CMS), which replaces conventional rearview mirrors with modern cameras. This technology enhances visibility and contributes to road safety. Additionally, the vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems such as the GSR safety system and the VEB+ braking system, which provide a safe and comfortable driving experience.
Safety and energy efficiency are central elements of Primafrio’s operational strategy. The Volvo FH Aero with I-Save engine meets the highest industry standards and offers solutions that optimize performance and contribute to the company’s profitability.
The use of the Volvo Connect fleet management system allows for centralized monitoring of important data such as fuel consumption, driving times, maintenance needs, and vehicle locations. This supports precise decision-making in operational business. This offering is complemented by the Volvo Gold Contract, which ensures high availability and reliability of the vehicles, as well as the financial services from Volvo Financial Services, which are aimed at the profitability and stability of the company.
José Esteban Conesa, President of Grupo Primafrio, emphasizes the importance of continuous fleet renewal for maintaining high standards in safety and efficiency. Giovanni Bruno, Managing Director of Volvo Trucks Spain, highlights the long-term collaboration based on trust in the quality of Volvo’s products.
