Volvo Trucks Delivers Prime Movers To Taipanco
Volvo Trucks handed over 7 of its FM 440 6×2 prime mover trucks to Taipanco Sdn Bhd, a leader in the local haulage industry, to add to the company’s fleet of 197 prime movers and 728 trailer units. Taipanco relies on high quality, durable transportation to move containers for its clients.
The new trucks not only help to expand Taipanco’s presence in the container transport industry within Peninsular Malaysia’s central region, but also complements their other logistics and non-logistics businesses. The company began operations in 2004 with 10 prime movers in its fleet, the same year it started with Volvo Trucks.
With the addition of the new movers, Taipanco currently operate 92 units of Volvo trucks. The FM 440 is a workhorse that meets rugged operating conditions and features a powerful, responsive D13 engine and an automated I-shift gearbox that allows effortless handling. 2 of the 7 units delivered to Taipanco are equipped with power take-off (PTO) systems, one with a generator and one equipped with equipment for special projects.
Taipanco’s Lee Chan Hooi and Nazari Akhbar received a mock key and a truck scale model from Law Ah Tiong, Vice President, After Market, Volvo Malaysia and Lim Eng Loon, Dealer Manager of Port Klang, Volvo Malaysia at a handover ceremony at Volvo Trucks’ flagship dealership in Port Klang.
“Taipanco acquired the Volvo FM 440 prime movers because these vehicles are known for their performance, reliability, comfort and primarily, safety,” said Nazari. “Volvo trucks are famed for their safety, which is critical to us in delivering our customers’ goods, but we also selected these trucks for their reliability and aftermarket services.”
Nazari added that Taipanco would be able to better serve the increasing demand for their services thanks to Volvo Trucks’ genuine parts, highly-trained staff and quick turn-around time. The purchase of the Volvo FM 440 includes driver training and 24-hour breakdown service.
