Fire and rescue service expands V60 response fleet
Volvo is supplying 15 new V60 estate cars to Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) following a tender and evaluation exercise.
The latest additions bring the NIFRS V60 fleet to 36 cars
The vehicles were selected based on their suitability for the role and competitive whole-life costs, and join an existing fleet of 21 Volvo V60s.
All the NIFRS V60s are converted with bluelight equipment by Volvo’s approved converter network and kitted out with the NIFRS livery. Volvo worked closely with NIFRS to agree on the placement and design of the equipment to suit its requirements working to extremely tight deadlines.
Volvo recently revealed its all-new V60, which will debut at next month’s Fleet Show at Silverstone ahead of starting customer deliveries in the autumn.
