UK CT Glass Introduces Volvo FM Trucks with Rear-Wheel Steering

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bradford-based CT Glass has introduced Volvo trucks into its fleet for the first time, receiving two FM 380 6x2 rigid trucks with rear-wheel steering. These curtain-sided vehicles will handle nationwide glass product deliveries, replacing the brand's previous fleet vehicles, aiming to improve maneuverability and driver appeal.

Transport Manager Paul Smithson said: "These FM trucks have been put into service and fully met expectations, offering excellent fuel economy, a comfortable cab, and features that drivers appreciate." Both vehicles are equipped with a 380 hp engine and the Volvo I-Shift automatic transmission, featuring a rear-wheel-steering pusher axle to handle narrow urban delivery points. The rear-wheel-steering configuration significantly enhances maneuverability.

These Volvo FMs are expected to cover annual mileages of up to 80,000 km, completing multiple deliveries across the UK each day, with a planned service life of at least five years. The vehicles were supplied by Crossroads Truck and Bus and come with a five-year Volvo Gold Contract covering maintenance and repairs.
