It's always a good idea to have a 'Plan B' don't you think asks Biglorryblog? Thus Volvo's decision to develop an EGR version of its 13-litre engine to sit alongside its SCR version shows a neat turn of hand to to keep all parties happy---not least those hauliers who won't entertain selective catalytic reduction and AdBlue.
Include in that lot Nantwich-based GA Newsome Haulage who, after purchasing other marques for the past four years, has returned to Volvo by adding four new EGR-engined Volvo FH tractor units to its 30 strong fleet. Already operating 23 Volvo trucks, the new Euro 4 units will replace existing vehicles as part of the operators five-year vehicle replacement programme. The latest FH-500 44-tonners are all topped off with Globetrotter ‘XL’ cabs in ‘Prestige’ trim.
