When Volvo Trucks first entered India, its prime focus was on the long-haul truck segment, albeit at the top end of it. With its FH, FM and even a few examples of FL tractor-trailer units, the company managed to secure a footing. Setting the wheels of transformation in progress in the Indian trucking industry in the process, Volvo found takers among a few big fleets and Government PSUs -- oil marketing companies especially. Mustering the confidence to set up a local assembly operation at Bangalore, the Swedish truck maker found a bigger calling in the mining sector. Coming to hold a market share of almost 90 per cent in the heavy-duty mining trucks segment that are used to carry especially overburden, the company has found itself in the highway long-haul segment once again. It’s almost 20 years later and with a huge change in infrastructure when compared to 1996. Delhivery, a leading e-commerce and B2B logistics player in India has found use for the FM 4x2 tractor-trailer combination in its fleet.
