Volvo » FH 'Ailsa' Edition
In 1967, Jim McKelvie and Jim Keyden, two far-sighted, entrepreneurial Scottish businessmen, launched ‘Ailsa Trucks’, the company that first introduced Volvo trucks to the UK. In 2017, Volvo Trucks is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first entry proper of Volvo trucks to the UK market with the superb ‘Ailsa' Edition.
This is a strictly limited edition with a production run of just 50 black on gold - or gold on black - FH 4x2 and 6x2 tractor units. The ‘Ailsa' Edition focuses on Volvo's class leading technology and safety equipment in the FH16-750 and the FH, which is equipped with the 13-litre engine rated at 540hp.
Each ‘Ailsa' Edition has a very special, ‘custom' interior upholstered in black and gold leather that complements the exterior with luxurious detailing that includes gold stitching and the specially designed 50th Anniversary ‘Ailsa Edition' logo. Floor and engine tunnel mats are finished in gold too. Drivers get Volvo Dynamic Steering (which reduces steering effort by up to 85%), I-Park Cool stationary Air Conditioning, I-See Predictive Cruise Control, TomTom navigation and the latest Media Package for streaming, as well as the fullest possible list of home comforts such as a microwave, television and fridge freezer, together with the Personal Protection Package, which includes a security box, laminated door glass and an alarm.
