Feature Story
70 years of hauling heritage
None of us could’ve predicted how much Covid-19 would change our lives in such a short period of time. At Terex Trucks, we started the year looking forward to celebrating 70 years of manufacturing robust and reliable off-highway
haulers. Since Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE)
acquired Terex Trucks in 2014, we’ve made substantial investments and improvements of around £35 million in our people, processes, products, facilities and distribution network – and we’re continuing to invest. All these investments not only enable us to improve the quality of our articulated dump trucks, but also to be more energy efficient and improve safety.
Because the articulated hauler is the only product Terex Trucks develops, we’re able to focus all our attention on this machine. We’ve installed a new transmission on the TA300 and a new drop-box on the TA400, improved the hydraulic system, added telematics, designed a new operator environment, created a new aesthetic and improved the engine enclosure. We’ve listened to our customers and thanks to their feedback, they are now reaping the rewards of these investments with lower operational costs, higher uptime levels, fuel efficiency savings, extended service intervals, faster fault detection, top quality customer service, and industry-leading parts availability that comes with two years or 6000 hours of parts warranty – whichever comes first. With our hauling heritage and know-how combined with Volvo CE’s considerable expertise, experience and financial backing, there has never been a better time to invest in a Terex Trucks hauler – and with building sites starting to re-open, we’re now getting ready to celebrate our anniversary by providing our trucks to even more customers.
