Volvo Trucks (Volvo) announced that it has recently secured the sale of four units of its premium flagship heavy-duty truck, the Volvo FH16 model, to logistics player, Aman Logistik Sdn Bhd (Aman Logistik). A truck handover ceremony to celebrate the occasion was held recently and was attended by the senior management teams of both companies.
“The recent delivery of the Volvo FH16 trucks to Aman Logistik reflects a positive extension of our solid sales performance in 2018, where we are continuing the growth of our premium flagship heavy-duty Volvo FH series,” said Mitch Peden, Managing Director, Volvo Trucks Malaysia.
“The Volvo FH16 is the ultimate machine for customers who demand extra capability, power and performance. As a premium heavy-duty truck, it offers massive torque and power, best-in-class fuel economy, reliability and safety,” said Peden.
He further added the Volvo FH16 is customisable to maximise productivity and can withstand the heaviest and most demanding operations on any road condition and terrain, and highly capable of handling deliveries of over-sized and super-heavy loads,”
Aman Logistik is an integrated logistics solution provider for wide-ranging services covering land, sea and air consignments, including forwarding and warehousing. The company is recognised as a leading specialist in the transportation of heavy haulage and over-sized cargo, including beam launching and infrastructure works.
One of the highly unique features of the Volvo FH16 is the I-Shift technology with ultra-low crawler gears which allows the truck to drive at speeds as low as 0.5-2kmph and start off from standstill while hauling 325 tonnes of payload. This technology offers a completely new opportunity for heavy trucks with automated transmissions to control their speed when hauling heavy loads. The improved drivability makes it much easier to operate in challenging terrains such as construction sites, mines or when driving up steep roads and hills.
