FAMCO launches new range of HD Volvo trucks in the UAE NEW GENERATION FH, FM AND FMX MODELS FEATURE ENHANCED SAFETY SYSTEMS INTEGRATED TO HELP AVOID ACCIDENTS AND MINIMISE DOWNTIME, SAYS IMPORTER LAUNCH Leading heavy vehicle and machinery importer FAMCO (Al-Futtaim Auto & Machinery Company) has launched its new cutting-edge Volvo Trucks range as it looks to “reinforce its market-leading position” in the UAE. The new-generation FH, FM and FMX heavy-duty trucks have been redesigned to deliver even higher levels of productivity, class-leading safety features, as
well as a more driver-friendly experience with an enhanced driver interface, interior space and overall visibility. These advanced models deliver a stronger return on range, giving users an environmental and financial saving in the process, said FAMCO in a statement. FAMCO and Volvo Trucks have been partners in the UAE since 1978 and have established a solid relationship that extends far beyond just the initial sales
cycle. With the support of the Swedish truck brand, FAMCO has invested in state-of-the-art facilities and software that works with the customer to ensure world-class levels of service, uninterrupted parts availability and, most importantly, reduced downtime for vehicles in the field. “Revealing these new trucks in the presence of members of the Volvo Trucks international team is not only an honour, but also a return to some form of normality
for us at FAMCO,” said Ramez Hamdan, Managing Director of FAMCO and Commercial Vehicles. “FAMCO and Volvo Trucks truly are a team working closely together on a daily basis. And that is the secret to the success of these two brands, which then benefits our customers. Bringing class-leading products to the market and providing the support and guidance our customers need, regardless of their industry or usage.”
