Volvo unveils new version of Volvo FE

Volvo Trucks is expanding its model range with a new low-entry cab version of the Volvo FE, which was recently unveiled in Europe.

According to Volvo, the Euro-6 Volvo FE LEC (Low Entry Cab) has been specially designed for refuse operations and city distribution duties, with the cab featuring a low entry, a flat floor throughout, excellent visibility and space for up to four people.

“There is a constant increase in the demand for efficient refuse transport and smart solutions for city distribution,” said Pernilla Sustovic, Segment Manager Distribution, Volvo Trucks.

“With the new Volvo FE LEC we meet our customers' needs even better than before. For instance, we are the only manufacturer to offer a refuse truck with a low entry and automated manual gearbox as an alternative to a fully-automatic transmission. Volvo I-Shift makes driving more fuel-efficient and the transmission's low weight permits added payload.”
