All new Volvo FH spotted on the road!
Discussion
An interesting one this! Easily the best and most surprising sighting i had yesterday (In more ways than one!) was this all new FH i scooped passing by headed north on the A1 a mile or two down from the Black Cat!
As this truck was only launched in Sweden a week or so ago, i think its fair to assume that this unit was one of the mules, or "ghost" trucks as they became known in the Lorryspotting circles, that Volvo sent over here to tune the trucks geometry in favour to UK drivers on our infamous pimpled roads which probably explains it being on a 61 plate. -
I snapped this 11 reg mule in full disguise here with exactly the same kind of shoddy bulk trailer on a couple of weeks ago so now that the truck has been officially launched i guess the people who have been running these mules have been given the OK to pull the vinyl wraps off!
Must say that its still a "challenging" looking truck design wise at best i think, although i thought it looked slightly better in the metal than it did in pics. No denying it has good road presence though!
Still think an MP4 Actros or even the all new MAN TGX would be tricky choices to dismiss at the top of my list if i happened to need a new 44 tonner TBH still though!
