Ewals Cargo Care adds 27 Volvo FH Aero trucks to UK fleet
Ewals Cargo Care UK & IE has started taking delivery of 27 Volvo FH Aero trucks; five have arrived, with the rest expected at about five per week, bringing its UK fleet to around 90 vehicles.
Ewals Cargo Care UK & IE division has begun introducing 27 new Volvo FH Aero trucks into its UK fleet. The first five have been delivered, and remaining units are scheduled to arrive at approximately five trucks per week. All 27 will be based and operated in the UK as part of a routine fleet replacement programme.
The model is already used in Ewals Cargo Care's continental European fleet. Once delivery is complete, the UK truck total is expected to reach about 90 vehicles, in a mixed fleet sourced from multiple manufacturers. The company says the purchase decision was based on a business case balancing purchase price and running costs.
According to the announcement, the FH Aero's aerodynamically optimised cab design benefits from EU rules allowing a slightly longer cab, while camera mirror systems replace traditional mirrors to reduce drag, fuel consumption and emissions. The trucks also include driver conveniences aimed at comfort, visibility and ease of operation.
