HST Feeds takes first Euro 4 Volvo truck
HST Feeds in Crewe, UK, has bought its first Euro 4 Volvo feed truck. The truck was supplied by Thomas Hardie Commercials Ltd.
For HST Feeds their new Volvo FM 480 vehicle is not only the first Euro 4 Volvo to operate within the region,
it is also the first Volvo truck in their fleet.
After operating various
other brands over the years, logistics manager, Julian Heaton explained, “The
Company has never owned a Volvo truck before, but having spoken to a number of
hauliers in our industry, Volvo have been recommended time and time
again.”
After careful consideration the company opted for SCR technology, instead of EGR, meet Euro 4 emission legislation. Julian stated
that, “SCR seems to be far more cost effective than EGR, in terms of reliability
and fuel consumption.”
Based in Crewe, Cheshire, HST Feeds are
manufacturers of animal feed for the dairy and poultry industry. Their new
vehicle will be used to transport a range of feed products to farms across the
North-West of England and surrounding areas.
