Yardley, Birmingham,-based Euro Packaging UT Ltd. recently purchased eight Volvo FE rigid trucks to add to its fleet, including four 26-tonne 6x2 models and four 18-tonne 4x2 models. The 18-tonne trucks sport the D8K engine, which produces up to 250 horsepower, and the 26-tonne trucks feature the 320-horsepower version of the D8K Euro-6 engine. Both groups have sleeper cabs and take advantage Volvo’s I-Shift 12-speed automated transmission. These eight trucks will bolster Euro Packaging’s already existing fleet of 17 Volvo FH models.
