The order is believed to be the largest ever order for Volvo FE trucks.
Romaquip (Ireland) and AEBI Schmidt (Holland & UK) have a four-year framework contract to replace the UK Highways Agency’s winter service fleet. Following a successful tender, both suppliers have chosen the Volvo FE chassis for vehicles to be provided for the 2010/11 winter season.
The FE 6x4 double drive chassis will be supplied by Irish Commercials Romaquip & AEBI Schmidt who will then fit their high-tech equipment at their factories in Birr, Co Offaly, and Holten in Holland.
