Volvo Trucks to show off all new product range at CV Show

The 2006 Commercial Vehicle Show, to be held at the NEC, Birmingham from 25th - 27th April 2006, will feature three Volvo stands - Volvo Trucks, Volvo Selected Trucks and Volvo Parts and Service/Roadcrew.

Located in Hall 5, Volvo Trucks main stand (5118) will host the UKs first public showing of Europe’s most powerful production truck - the new Volvo FH16 - launched on February 1st. In addition the stand will feature the UK show debut of the new generation 13-litre FH and FM vehicles, launched last autumn.

Visitors to the stand will be able to see the 580hp, 6x2 version of the FH16 featuring a Globetrotter XL cab in Prestige trim with full leather interior, automated 12-speed I-Shift gearbox, Volvo’s Dynafleet Online package, reversing camera and EBS braking system as the leading exhibit.
A top-of-the-range 660hp FH16 will also form the centrepiece of an external exhibit outside the show entrance.

The FH on show will be a 6x2 tractor unit with an external air kit, Dynafleet Online, I-Shift automated manual gearbox, ESP, VEB, SCR, polished aluminium wheels and Volvo’s new Euro 5-complaint 480hp D13A engine. The truck also features a Globetrotter XL cab in Comfort trim with twin bunks, fride/freezer and RDS /Radio/CD player.

The third vehicle on display will be an FM 6x2 rear-steer rigid chassis with a Globetrotter single-bunked cab with Comfort trim, I-Shift automated manual gearbox and a Euro 4-complaint 340hp D13A engine.
Also on the stand will be static displays of the new D13A engine, the latest I-Shift automated manual gearbox and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology, demonstrations of Volvos latest Dynafleet products and a hospitality area.

Volvo’s selected used trucks stand (Hall 5-stand 5021) will be used to launch a new selected used truck programme and two used trucks will be on display, demonstrating the long term reliabilty and good residual values of Volvo trucks.
