Truck Stop Unlimited - All About Trucks & Trailers

For over 25 years Cheshire-based PR Bozon Transport - which deliver concrete blocks and brick to building sites and merchants - have only ever purchased Volvo trucks. So when the chance came to replace one of the four vehicles on the fleet, the choice was not difficult.“My first Volvo was an F12 which was back in 1981,” commented Managing Director Peter Bozon. “It was a terrific truck and I haven’t purchased another marque since.”

The newcomer, a Volvo FM-400 8×4 400hp rigid plated for 32 tonnes GCW, comes with a Day cab in ‘Fleet’ trim and joins the rest of the all-Volvo FM fleet. The vehicle is also fitted with an Atlas 105.2 crane.

Local Volvo dealership, Thomas Hardie Commercials of Middlewich supplied the vehicle, in conjunction with Thomas Hardie Engineering of Chorley, Lancs, who bodied and fitted the vehicle with its state-of-the-art crane.

After receiving the vehicle from Mark Lingard, Thomas Hardie’s Area Sales Manager, Peter said that, “Hardie’s made purchasing the vehicle extremely easy by looking after the complete process professionally and efficiently from start to finish.”

PR Bozon’s latest Volvo FM is on a 5-year repair and maintenance contract at Thomas Hardie Commercial’s Middlewich depot. Peter commented that, “All my vehicles are serviced and maintained at Thomas Hardie,” adding that, “the service they provide is excellent.”

As the main contractor for Cheshire Concrete Products Ltd, the vehicle will be seen operating nationwide.
