The new arrival will be paired with walking floor and low loader trailers, completing bulk haulage and machinery deliveries across the UK and Ireland.
The truck’s top-of-the-range 17-litre Euro 6 compliant step E engine provides 780hp and a peak torque of 3,800Nm, with the engine also equipped with a single turbocharger to boost responsiveness and improve the driving experience.
T Alun Jones’ new truck is driven via Volvo’s 12-speed I-Shift gearbox, which enables seamless gear changes in a fraction of a second and smooth acceleration.
The vehicle’s Globetrotter XL cab – sporting T Alun Jones’ striking yellow and blue livery – has been treated to a robust and comprehensive specification, including a coffee maker, microwave oven, I-Park Cool and a heated and suspended driver’s seat.
A Drive+ package adds features including adjustable steering wheel with neck tilt and dual armrests, while a one person Living+ package includes additional cab storage, a 33-litre fridge, and bottle holders. Combined with front air suspension, this creates a thoroughly comfortable working environment.
Safety is also a key part of the specification, with features such as Forward Collison Warning with adaptive cruise control which automatically adjusts the speed of the truck to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
