Latest trucks distribute food across UK
Ten new Volvo FM 6x2 tractor units have been delivered into A.F. Blakemore & Son’s food distribution fleet, each meeting Transport for London’s three-star direct vision standard (DVS) rating.
The 44 t FMs will work predominantly on the business’ contract delivering ambient, fresh and frozen goods to the supermarket chain Spar. The vehicles are powered by Volvo’s proven D11K Euro-6 engine, delivering 460 hp and 2,200 Nm of torque.
Working in tandem with double deck urban trailers, the FMs are expected to clock-up around 120,000 km per annum. Fuel efficiency is boosted by Volvo's long haul fuel package. Founded in 1917, the family-owned haulier has 7,800 employees and a turnover of GBP 1.2 billion (EUR 1.44 billion). (ben)
