transport paper — not yours — about Volvos not being assembled in this country after all, I am wondering what the situation is concerning the eight-wheelers that Ailsa Trucks showed at Earls Court, because these are not a basic Swedish model.
A Ailsa Trucks Ltd tell us that when the
plans for acquiring the site at Irvine, Lanarkshire, were made, there was never any intention of undertaking large-scale assembly, but the intention to produce six and eight-wheeled vehicles at Irvine remains unchanged. These will be adapted from Volvo chassis imported for the purpose.
The company says its Irvine plans also still include double-deck buses.
