The Volvo is very popular in Europe.....Volvo manufacture  both bonneted and cabover  models  European operators prefer the cabover  ...and they are readily available and competivly priced ...operators like the maneuverability and good turning circle ...ideal for high density urban and intercity operations...

It is fitted with the latest  euro 6  clean burn engine which is becoming essential  for city operations......            most European cities are introducing  low emission zones....older diesel trucks, vans and cars are are being banned from entering these zones  .....businesses breaking these rules face heavy fines  or in extreem cases are liable for immediate prohibition... 

 

This particular truck is owned and operated in Holland  by a high profile Dutch towing company  .....fitted with heavy duty  axles, front and rear,  double drive  and a powerful 500 hp engine  and perfectly capable of towing casualty vehicles  up to 65  tons.
