By Jim Gibbins - 5th February 2021
Sweden - Volvo Truck Corporation of Gothenburg, Sweden has announced new Volvo FM and FMX trucks with a crew cab for up to nine people. The new variants of the two models, developed in close co-operation with bodybuilders and the emergency services throughout Europe including LHD markets, have several improvements specifically designed for fire and rescue service vehicles.
Volvo states the European market for fire and support vehicles per year is more than 3,000 units. In addition to complying with national and international regulations, the vehicles need to be adapted to meet the specific requirements of each fire authority. This includes high standards of safety, reliability, and flexibility. The new crew cabs are designed for operation in tough environments, offering the same high standards of safety, ergonomics, and comfort as other variants within the two ranges, which launched in 2020.
