NEW: Low-entry Volvo FE
Volvo Trucks are expanding their model range with a low-entry version of the new Euro VI FE.
The FE LEC has been specially-designed for refuse operations and city distribution, and features a low entry, a flat floor design and space for four people.
Pernilla Sustovic, Segment Manager Distribution at Volvo Trucks, said: “There is a constant increase in the demand for efficient refuse transport and smart solutions for city distribution.
“With the new Volvo FE LEC we meet our customers’ needs even better than before.
“For instance, we are the only manufacturer to offer a refuse truck with a low entry and automated manual gearbox as an alternative to a fully-automatic transmission.
“Volvo I-Shift makes driving more fuel-efficient and the transmission’s lower weight means more payload.”
The new FE LEC is based on the latest generation of Volvo Trucks’ medium duty Volvo FE, meaning the chassis, driveline, design, instruments and controls are all more or less identical.
Optional specification includes a 24V socket behind the driver’s seat and a reversing camera.
