The Ready to Roll FL-L and its associated bodywork and equipment are built in tandem, reducing production time. Potentially orders can be made in single units and take a month to deliver.
The new Ready to Roll FL-L comes complete with Volvo Safety Crew Cab (to ECE R29 standard), fire pump, co-polymer plastic bodywork and even final fitting by Angloco from a menu of pre-defined equipment and storage layouts.
The 15 or 16 tonnes GVW truck is fitted with a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission and comes packaged with a choice of either 260 or 290 hp engines.
“All in all, the new Volvo Ready to Roll FL-L water tender represents not just an industry first, but also an example of how the supply chain for the manufacture of fire application vehicles can be improved for the benefit of customers by the use of innovative thinking and a carefully thought out partnering arrangement between four of the industry’s leading companies,” said Volvo in a statement.
