All in all, the new FMX represents a huge step forward in all the most important areas within its segment; explained Claes Nilsson, president of Volvo Trucks, during the FMX’s unveiling: “We have improved every detail of the truck – large and small – which are vital for ensuring the truck’s robustness and handling.”
Volvo Trucks’ sets a new standard for the construction segment Seven new Volvo FMXs are on display at the Bauma 2013 fair, where an estimated 570,000 visitors are expected. The launch of the new model is set to further strengthen Volvo Trucks’ offer in the heavy construction segment, which was established in 2010 with the introduction of the first FMX model at the Bauma fair that year. With the new truck, Volvo Trucks will set a new benchmark for the segment. “It is probably the best and toughest construction truck in the world,” said Claes Nilsson, Volvo Trucks’ President at the Bauma Fair.
