Don't miss this week's edition of Commercial Motor to read about Bob Beech's experience with the Volvo FH16 Aero! ?? He writes: "The performance was quite literally effortless, and it also gave some impressive fuel returns, not something you anticipate with a truck producing just short of 800hp. "If you want to reward a long-serving driver, enjoy the shortest possible legal journey times, realise the best residual values, or take great pride in your fleet and wish to stand out from the crowd, these types of trucks have their place." ?? #volvotrucks #volvofh16aero #commercialmotor

Wonderful to welcome Will Reeves to our Warwick HQ this week, for an update with Hannah Mayo ahead of #InternationalWomensDay.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay! The global shortage of skilled truck drivers – which is already limiting many transport businesses – is expected to significantly worsen by 2028. ?? Bringing more women into the industry as drivers is increasingly being seen as a possible solution to the crisis; however, women make up only 4% of truck drivers in Europe. ?? To gain more insights into what motivates women to become truck drivers, we recently carried out a survey across 10 European countries, based on interviews with 231 women. You can read all about it in the Insight article on our website. ?? Delphine Maury, Senior Market Analyst at Volvo Trucks, feels that some of the most important actions transport companies can take are: ?? To secure safe truckstops for overnight stops ?? Ensure access to clean toilets during shifts ?? Equip trucks with security accessories such as cameras and alarms ?? It is also important to have flexible work arrangements to help drivers achieve a good work-life balance Delphine says: “But it should be stressed that these measures will not only help retain women drivers – they will benefit men as well. “In fact, what I’ve come to understand from this survey is that many women truck drivers don’t want special treatment or adaptations – they just want to be accepted as regular truck drivers and treated the same as their male counterparts.” ?? #volvotrucks #IWD2025 #womenintransport
