South East UK Truck Sales – Finding used trucks for sale in the region should be straightforward. There are plenty of truck dealers advertising their used trucks here at Truckpages. An affluent area, the South East covers everywhere south and east of Oxford. Motorway links are good and travel times from other regions are easily manageable. For export buyers there are six airports serving just the London area alone, so you will have a good choice of locations to fly into. In addition, there is easy access to ports such as Felixstowe and , of course Dover on the South Coast. There are not too many used trucks for sale in London, as the land is very expensive. You will tend to find the truck dealers and operators on the outskirts of the M25 and beyond.
Volvo Trucks Have an Answer Two Volvo Truck & Bus dealers have found an innovative solution to overcome one of the biggest barriers the UK faces with the shift to zero emission transport. Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland planned to install high-powered charge points at two of its service workshops for battery-powered HGVs and buses – Volvo Truck and Bus Centre Carlisle, and Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London North, in Enfield.

When working on local waste operations in London, a 190-kilometre range on an electric truck must be sufficient for a day’s operation. This type of operation won’t suffer from range anxiety when considering an electric truck, it simply comes down to economic vs. environmental considerations – buying the chargers and investing in the more expensive trucks themselves. Even with the government support of up to £25,000, these electric trucks are significantly more expensive than their diesel counterparts. There will be savings in fuel costs, but these are not sufficient to offset the upfront costs yet. A recycling and waste management,…

Wembley – based Harringtons Builders Plc has added a new Thompsons-bodied tipper to its fleet, resplendent in an attractive all-over sky blue livery. However, it’s the technical specification that makes this truck quite a bit different from the tipper norm. Underneath the latest-spec Thompsons Loadmaster Lite bodywork (which for Harringtons includes a hydraulic AutoLoc tailgate, VWS weighing system, flip-over Shurco sheet, sideguard warning panels, and extra lighting to the side panels and rear posts) there’s a similarly top-flight 460hp Volvo FMX chassis that’s been individually specified for years of hard work. Key here is Harringtons choice of a Volvo heavy…
