Jenny Brown (Shepherds Customer Services Dept) takes delivery of our first "69" plate, a new Volvo FH500 from Kevan Morris Volvo Sales Manager. Big weekend for Jenny as she's tying the knot with her long term partner this Sunday..... Congrats Jenny.

Whilst this new FH500 might look identical to the last one it now features a few bits of technology, including, "I Role" a neat device that decouples the and gearbox from the wheels allowing the truck to freewheel when power is not required. The device is also linked to the sophisticated sat nav system called "I See" which allows the truck to predict hills and bends in the road and therefore prepare the engine and gearbox for the next situation it will have to deal with. These trucks also have an extra 100 ft/Ibs of torque 100 rpm lower in the rev range. This allowed Volvo to change the final drive ration of the trucks Differential meaning at any given speed the engine is revving slower and therefore using a little less fuel.

At the end of May 2019 see’s Keven Morris (left) handing over a new Volvo FE320 “Softsider” to Cole Taylor (Shepherds Transport Controller). As always each truck seems to bring something new to us. This time you can see the addition of a near side lower door window, designed to give the driver a direct view of other vulnerable road users (ie Cyclists) who otherwise would be seen through a special camera which can also be seen on the corner of the truck.

The truck sports the latest generation of “softside” fall arrest system and is the first 26 tonner to have a full recording camera system from new. These 26 tonners have a capacity of 16 tons and operate to FORS Gold standard.

As this truck arrives is replaces a 2006 Volvo FM300 26 ton flat bed that will shortly be on a ship heading first for Walvis Bay in Namibia but then on a 1,800 miles drive to Malawi where it will work as a local transport vehicle.
