First new truck for Nostrop Storage

The vehicle marks the first time the customer has opted to acquire a brand new truck, with Nostrop Storage eager to make the most of the asset's factory-fresh performance and reliability.

Josh Smith, Nostrop Storage's owner, said: "Investing in our first new Volvo marks a significant milestone for the business that reflects our commitment to enhancing our operational efficiency, sustainability and brand image.

"The decision to introduce the FHAero into our fleet was driven by a desire to bring a reliable vehicle onboard, but also a model that can deliver the best fuel economy on the market. Given our existing Volvos have performed admirably, we've no doubt this new FH Aero will exceed on both of those fronts."

The FHAero–liveried in Nostrop Storage's sleek black and green colours, paired with Dura­ Bright alloys –delivers substantial energy consumption and emission reductions of up to five per cent through an aerodynamic design, with the model's cab 24cm longer than that of the standard Volvo FH.

Nostrop Storage's new truck is powered by a Euro-6 compliant D13TC Step E engine, which leverages turbo compound technology to deliver 500hp and a peak torque of 2,800Nm. Thisispairedwitha12-speed I-Shift automated gearbox and I-See predictive cruise control to yield further sustainability benefits.

To maximize driver comfort, the company has also opted for a spacious Globetrotter XL cab fitted with added extras including leather upholstery, a microwave and additional cab storage.
