摘要：	Harrisons Transport has taken delivery of five new Volvo FH 460 with I-Save tractor units, equipped with Globetrotter XL cabs. The order was placed after the Preston-based business averaged 11 mpg with its first batch of Volvo's turbo compound engine trucks, which have been in service since 2019. Supplied by Thomas Hardie Commercials, two of the new 6×2 FHs will be paired with refrigerated trailers and used to move temperature-controlled products across the UK, while the other three will be used for container work. Each of the trucks features Volvo's D13TC Euro-VI Step D engine, which benefits from turbo-compounding and other fuel-saving features. Lee Harrison, owner of Harrisons Transport, says: "The fuel returns we've seen from these Volvo turbo compound engines is very good. We originally took on eight back in 2019 and they've averaged around 11 mpg, which we are very happy with. We work our trucks hard; the three on container duties will be covering around 130,000km each year, and the two pulling reefers will be more towards 200,000km per year, with the drivers working four days on, four days off."
