IN A COST-CONSCIOUS climate, we're surprised — and glad — to report that the Volvo FH16. 700 has found its first home in the UK.
County Antrim-based McBumey Transport has taken delivery of V700 MCB, which sports a distinctive black look, rather than the yellow livery of the operator.
Founder and MD Norman McBurney tells CM: "Dennison Commercials held an open day; we really liked the look of the FH16.700 and the extra horsepower, so we added it to an existing order for around 50 new FH XLs." [Who said impulse buying is dead?— Ed] • Turn to p32 to find out how the Volvo FH16.700 performed on CM's test route.
