Design changes meet Volvo's challengers

摘要

Volvo is confident changes to the design of its 25 tonne payload articulated dump truck will help it ward off challenges to the market-leading position of the model. The 25t hauler is described by the company as one of the true success stories in the world of construction equipment. It had consistently enjoyed global market leadership in its class since it was introduced 19 years ago, with the sale of the 6000th unit due to occur soon, Volvo said. In Australia, it had a similar record. Since being introduced here in 1985, it has been the top selling 25t hauler and the release of the "beefed-up" A25D was not going to make life any easier for Volvo competitors.
