Hi guys, just a curious question, is the volvo fh xxl legal in this country with a std 13.6m trl or will the old 40ft have to be used, i know it’s only 25cm longer and that it is the back wall that’s moved back and not the wheelbase altered, as i say just curious. Thanks
I’m glad you brought this up. The Volvo XXL or ‘Hurle-verle-vaagen’ as it’s known in Swedish was designed for the Klanglo-Finnish-Norvergen market pursuant of clause EC-16429 which states:
A vaagen vitch vust tranvit vee Sweedish-Finnvich vorder-herlerherler.
In other word’s Volvo had to manufacture a truck under EC-27421 in order to qualify for EC-18539 which under subsection EC-23395 allowed Volvo to export tractor units to the prized Tristan de Cuna wholesale M.I.N. market dealership.
You’re right, it’s illegal to run a Volvo XXL with any trailer in the UK or anywhere else in the solar system and Beyonce except when it’s coupled to Lego Reefer (L/GO-75539) or a contestant on ‘Love Island’. The penalty being death by Iveco if you break this law.
If you don’t believe me here look I’m in my Stralis 180 Gardening.
