Utrecht 2000 - 5 - FM12 - Schoones

This Volvo FM12 8x4 belongs to Schoones from Vinkel (NL). The trailer is a Nooteboom 4-axled unit with a 2-axled Interdolly. As load it has a Liebherr 954 excavator that weighs about 50 tonnes.

The rare thing about this Volvo is that it has a Volvo automatic gearbox. Theoretically not a bad choice because a automatic gearbox always has a torque converter and it can shift under full load.

Behind the cab they mounted a dieseltank with built-in toolboxes.
