Description
Volvo Lorries: A History in Britain The story of Volvo lorries begins with their introduction to British roads in 1967. At that time, Jim McKelvie, a former road haulier, sought better trucks than those being produced by UK manufacturers. He imported the Volvo F86 model as a 30/32 ton artic unit, which proved to be light, powerful and comfortable for drivers. This early import was a game-changer in the UK market, paving the way for later Volvo truck models and bus chassis introductions. Today, Volvo is a major player on the world stage, with a significant following in Britain. This book tells the story of Volvo lorries' history in Britain, from their early imports to the modern fleet flagships seen on roads today. Lavishly illustrated with rare and unpublished photographs, Volvo Lorries provides a detailed look at this iconic brand's journey in the UK.
