Northern Irish operator McBurney Transport has ordered 25 Euro 6 Volvo trucks, as part of its fleet replacement cycle for 2015, including 15 FH 500 6x2 Globetrotters and 10 FM 460 Globetrotter models.

Supplied by Dennison Commercials, the latest additions are all fitted with emergency braking and lane keeping support, in preparation for November's introduction of the General Safety Regulations. The trucks are also specified with the Dynafleet telematics system.

McBurney is one of the largest Volvo operators anywhere in Ireland, having taken more than 1,000 vehicles from Dennison in the past 45 years.

In October 2009, it was the first operator in the UK and Ireland to take delivery of the flagship Volvo FH16-700. Then, in 2011, McBurney took delivery of one of the first FH16-750 models, and was one of the first to order the new Volvo FH, in its 2013/14 truck delivery.

"We are constantly updating our vehicles to ensure we have a reliable provision of services for our customers," says Norman McBurney, managing director.

"We continue to purchase from Dennisons because Volvo is a consistently reliable and innovative product and we have been well supported by Dennisons locally over the years."
