Concentrated in South East Queensland, the trucks are tasked with hauling material from REMONDIS’ resource recovery facilities at Rocklea and Northgate to another REMONDIS facility at Swanbank.
“REMONDIS plays a critical role in Australia’s shift towards a circular economy, and we’re proud to support their essential work with vehicles designed for durability, safety and productivity,” says Tom Chapman, Vice President, Volvo Trucks Australia.
“The Volvo FMX is purpose-built for demanding applications, and these trucks will help ensure REMONDIS continues delivering reliable and efficient services to the communities they support every day.”
“As a long-term partner, we value the trust REMONDIS places in Volvo Trucks Australia, and we’re committed to supporting their fleet with the technology, aftersales service and dealer network needed to keep these vehicles working at their best.” Chapman said.
REMONDIS welcomed the fleet additions, saying the delivery reflects the company’s focus on performance, safety and sustainability.
“The Volvo FMX is a proven platform for the complex and varied work our teams perform,” a REMONDIS spokesperson said.
“The new trucks complement many other Volvo trucks that have made up a significant portion of our fleet for many years.
“Good collaboration means we end up with bespoke trucks that enable us to do our job well. “
“These prime movers strengthen our operational capability, helping us transport materials safely and efficiently, which enables us to maximise recycling. Volvo Trucks has been a trusted partner for many years, and this latest delivery reinforces our shared commitment to quality and continuous improvement.”
The nine FMX prime movers are equipped with unique features ensuring drivability and ease of operation, including crawler gear and Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS). Crawler Gears helps with startability in challenging off-road environments, reducing stress on the clutch and other driveline components. VDS provides electronic steering assistance to the driver, helping to reduce fatigue over the course of a shift whilst improving drivability.
