With a stand boasting a full range of trucks, including a top-of-the-range Volvo FH16-750 tractor unit, the Volvo Trucks stand at Truckfest, Peterborough (1st and 2nd May), puts the spotlight firmly on safety, driver-friendly cabs and a special appearance from the world of Formula 1 racing.
The top-spec FH16-750 will form the centrepiece of the display and there will also be a special guest appearance by one of the McLaren-Honda Volvo FH tractor units coupled to a McLaren-Honda team race trailer.
The striking outfit is part of the brand new fleet of 24 state-of-the-art Volvo trucks providing essential transport solutions and logistics support for both race team and hospitality operations as part of an exclusive four-year agreement with McLaren-Honda.
Highlights of the Volvo truck specifications on display include an array of FH and FM tractor units equipped with the high torque, fuel-efficient 13-litre D13K540 and D11K410 engines. While the FHs have Globetrotter XL cabs, the FM tractor unit on show features a Globetrotter LXL sleeper.
In addition, visitors to the stand will be able to purchase items from the latest range of Volvo Trucks’ official merchandise including the new ironmark collection and the latest scale model trucks.
The local Volvo Truck dealer will also be selling a selection of their extensive range of Roadcrew truckers ‘goodies’, such as cleaning products, security devices, bulb kits etc., together with some special one-off Show offers.
It is anticipated that Volvo will also be promoting their social media offerings with daily prizes on offer through both their Facebook and Twitter platforms.
Finally, Volvo will also have the benefits of resident MC – Chris Holland – to keep visitors abreast of all the offers, product and maybe even the arrival of the odd celebrity guest during the weekend.
