Six new Volvo trucks for Tomsetts

The new Aeros are direct replacements for older standard FHs on the fleet, ensuring that 11 of the customer’s 18 commercial vehicles remain Volvo-supplied.

Tomsetts opted for the FH Aero due to the substantial energy consumption and emission reductions unlocked through the cab’s refined aerodynamic design.

The trucks are each powered by a Euro 6-compliant D13TC Step E engine, which produces 500hp and a peak torque of 2,800Nm, benefitted by turbo compounding technology to maximise fuel efficiency. The engines are paired with Volvo’s 12-speed I-Shift automated gearbox technology plus I-See predictive cruise control.

The Globetrotter XL cabs have been fitted with a Drive+ package, adding an array of creature comforts including fully electronic air conditioning with carbon filter and sun, mist and air quality sensors, dual armrests, leather upholstery, electrically heated and operated rear view mirrors and an adjustable steering wheel with neck tilt.

A suspended and heated driver’s seat, 33-litre fridge/freezer; microwave oven and additional cab storage complete the interior, creating a practical and comfortable working environment.
