XFM has added five new prime movers to its growing fleet.
The national logistics company recently introduced new Fuso Shogun 400s along with nine new Vawdrey trailers as part of its continued expansion.
XFM’s five Fuso Shogun 400 models feature a Daimler Truck-sourced 11-litre six-cylinder engine, paired with a 12-speed Automatic Manual Transmission (AMT).
The units’ Euro 6-rated engines produce 400hp, enough power for short- or long haul work.
XFM Managing Director, Les Sharp, said the company’s recent fleet upgrade is in-line with its commitment to operate modern high-quality equipment and first-class depots across major Australian cities.
“Our customers can attest that we are 100 per cent committed to providing the highest level of service, and that means we operate quality trucks that are safe, efficient and well-maintained,” he said.
“Safety for our drivers and other road users is important, so we are also pleased that the Fuso Shogun comes with a really high level of safety as standard. The overall business case for the Shoguns, including the low operating costs, also makes it something that is hard to say no to.”
XFM’s Shoguns come with Advanced Emergency Braking Systems technology fitted as standard, enabling them to automatically carry out full brake application in response to stationary and moving objects.
The Fuso Shoguns can even brake in response to moving or halted pedestrians.
Sharp also expressed his appreciation for the help of Daimler Truck Australia Pacific Director of Strategic Partners and Business Development, Richard Eyre, who was able to help him get the right trucks for the job in a timely fashion.
The Fuso Shogun 400s also benefit from lengthy 50,000 kilometre service intervals that ensure the truck spends more time out on the road getting the job done.
The truck units also include a manufacturer warranty that lasts for five years or 500,000 kilometres — whichever comes first.
FedEx Express recently announced a big order of Fuso eCanters for its operations in Adelaide.
