The Croydon based concrete supplier's new truck has a 12 tonne GVW and is capable of placing 50m3 of ready-mix concrete per hour.

The new truck joins nine truck mixers at Easymix Concrete, most of which are also Volvos.

It was supplied by Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London, based in Croydon.

The Volvo FL - like the mixer trucks already run by the company - is on a Volvo Gold Repair and Maintenance contract.

It is powered by a Volvo D5K210 four cylinder, 5.1 litre engine, mated to a six-speed overdrive automated gearbox.

Steve Brown, managing director at Easymix, said: “Because we generally work within a 35-mile radius of here , we cover pretty much the whole of London.

“As such, when specifying this truck we needed it to be Euro-6 compliant.

"This level of technology meant it was a natural choice to turn to Volvo, as I completely trust the trucks and the dealer support."
