Volvo Trucks ‘Perfect Fit’ for Camden Group

Camden Group, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of PVCu products, has recently taken delivery of a number of Volvo FH 4×2 trucks from Northern Ireland Volvo dealer, Dennison Commercials.

“Volvo is the perfect fit for us,” says Stephen Clements, Camden’s Transport Manager. “It’s an innovative company, constantly looking to keep ahead of the competition; they’re market leaders; they’re committed to the highest levels of quality; and they’ve a great record in environmental sustainability – an ethos and set of values that reflect everything we do at Camden. The fact that the trucks also look fantastic is an added bonus!”

“We had the FH’s on trial, and during that time the performance of both the trucks and Dennisons was outstanding,” adds Stephen. “From a reliability perspective, the trucks were excellent – we didn’t lose a single day’s productivity from reliability issues. But the big bonus for us is the fuel efficiency coupled with a huge reduction in our CO2 emissions”

Last year Camden delivered over 750,000 window and door units to trade customers the length and breadth of Britain, from Inverness to Penzance. “This year, that figure will be over one million units, continued Stephen. “With a five day turnaround promise, fleet reliability is huge to us, and our customers put their confidence in us to deliver on time, every time. In Dennisons we have a partner who works closely with us to help us keep that promise. The level and quality of their aftersales service was a major factor in the decision to go with Volvo.”

The new trucks are liveried in Camden’s striking green and black colour scheme, which was been specifically designed to reflect the Company’s total commitment to sustainability. Camden’s market-leading Inliten product, is extremely unique, boasting 80% recycled content. The end to end sustainability of this product is something that no other manufacturer can offer and saves up to 100 tonnes of waste from going to landfill every week! The new trucks will add even further to that environmental commitment.

As well as the distinctive livery, the Euro VI FH 460 4×2 XL Globetrotters are finished to an impressive specification, with lightbars fitted and the last five to be delivered also including alloy wheels. All of the trucks have air flow kits fitted for enhanced aerodynamic capability.

This fleet partnership clearly demonstrates Volvo’s core values of quality, safety and environmental care.
