New Volvo FMX Launch
Volvo Malaysia launched the rugged, new Volvo FMX truck at its Shah Alam’s office recently as part of its growth plan in Malaysia. The new model is designed and built specifically for heavy utili- sation in construction, mining, factories and in the oil and gas industries.
Speaking at the launch of the Volvo FMX, Mansoor Ahmed, Volvo Malaysia Managing Director said, “Ma- laysia is an important market to the Volvo Group and with our vast network across East and West Malaysia, Volvo Malaysia is committed to live up to its reputation to being the provider of the world’s best trucks and construction equipment solution.”
The new FMX is based on the very successful FM platform, which is well proven in demanding applica- tions in Malaysia. The most obvious change with the new, high-clearance Volvo FMX is its robust, mod- ern exterior. With a new upper grill, aggressive lower front, 3-part steel bumper and protective bull bar, it has been tailored specifically to match the demands of off road and on road operations and boasts a wide specification range.
Drivers can look forward to exceptional driveline per- formance based on the power and efficiency of the 13-litre engine (400 to 480 hp),with transmission al- ternatives including the I-Shift gearboxer.
Following the launch, a handover ceremony was held where Mansoor presented the keys of the Volvo FMX trucks to Air Marine Sdn Bhd and Mega Brave Sdn Bhd for being the first customers to purchase the new trucks. Air Marine was represented by its Executive Director Robert Chiew, while Mega Brave was repre- sented by Calven Loon, its Managing Director.
In Malaysia, Volvo’s Malaysia’s combined truck brands ( Volvo Trucks, Renault Trucks, and UD Trucks) is the market leader with over 31% share in the Heavy Duty Truck (≥ 16 tonnage) market in 2010.
