Ten more trucks for operation across UK
In UK, Longcliffe Quarries has taken delivery of ten Volvo trucks, with its order comprising eight FH 6x2 tractor units and two FM 8x4 rigids.
Joining Longcliffe Quarries’ fleet of 41 commercial vehicles, the Volvos will deliver the company’s products around the UK and will be in service for five years covering about 100,000 km per year.
For nearly 100 years, Longcliffe’s Derbyshire quarries have been a supplier of high purity calcium carbonates. The company produces limestone for a huge range of critical industries, from animal feeds and pet foods to supplying the UK’s pharmaceutical and food industries.
The new Volvo trucks will help the company to reach zero-carbon quarrying operations by 2027, Longcliffe said. (ben)
