Volvo trucks power up for AD Fuels fleet

The new trucks see the AD Fuels fleet increase to 24 units, of which 50% are now Volvos.

The new FHs – all supplied with full ADR certification and fitted with Gardner Denver pumping equipment – are powered by a D13K Euro-6 compliant Step E engine, which produces 540hp and a maximum 2,600Nm of torque. This is paired with a 12-speed I-Shift transmission which delivers a smooth drive with perfectly-timed gear changes by constantly evaluating information about speed, weight, road grade and torque demand.

Due to the varied locations of AD Fuels customers, there is not currently the coverage of LNG stations to support its logistics. As such, in keeping with the business’ green credentials, AD Fuels has opted for Volvo’s Fuel Package, adding I-See Predictive Cruise Control to maximise sustainability and fuel consumption. The trucks also benefit from roof and cab side air deflectors, to further extend economy through refined aerodynamics.

The trucks’ Globetrotter cabs all boast a comfortable specification, with rear air suspension paired with leather upholstery, electrically controlled air conditioning with carbon filter and sun, mist and air quality sensor, plus a heated and suspended driver’s seat with dual armrests. A 33-litre fridge/freezer, a microwave oven and two bottle holders are also included, plus a Media package with navigation which adds a 12-inch fully dynamic instrument cluster with a secondary colour display and DAB radio.
