Body Paragraphs:
Volvo Trucks has introduced a new lightweight 4x2 tractor version of the FM that weighs in at under six tonnes at the IAA CV Show in Hannover.
Part of the reduction comes from the latest Euro-6 ODB2 (Step C) evolution of the D11 450 engine - the new regulation doesn't change the emission levels, but it does ensure that they are fully maintained throughout the first seven of the trucks's working life - which is lighter.
There is also a lighter chassis and rear axle contributing to the reduction of around 500kg from the previous equivalent.
The tractive-unit is available to order now.
