Truck and machinery supplier Famco officially launched Volvo’s new rugged FMX truck in the UAE this week.
The FMX truck, built for heavy construction activities, was unveiled at Bauma in April and has been available in European markets since September. It is now being rolled out across the globe.
The FMX boasts a new upper grill, aggressive lower front, 3-part steel bumper with 3mm thick steel corners, rugged skid plate, protective bull bar, and raised suspension.
Paul Floyd, Managing Director, Famco told PMV that: “The FM is a proven chassis but the FMX is specifically aimed at the construction segment. It’s a little more heavy duty, it’s stronger and safer when it goes off-road.”
The end of 2010 has seen a flurry of new machines hit the GCC market and Floyd is optimistic for the market and Famco’s prospects in the new year.
“It’s nice to come out of the duldroms of the last 18 months and put some exciting new product in front of customers. We’re looking to have success with it.”
