Investment highlights commitment to innovation, driver excellence, and fleet modernisation

Leading logistics provider Manfreight has taken delivery of two brand-new Volvo FH16 780 Aero trucks, becoming the first operator in Northern Ireland to welcome this latest model to its fleet.

The arrival of these high-specification vehicles marks another milestone in Manfreight’s continued investment in fleet innovation and operational excellence. Delivered in partnership with Dennison Commercials Ltd, the new FH16 780 Aero are set to enhance the performance and sustainability of Manfreight’s operations across the UK and Ireland.

Finished in Manfreight’s signature orange with maroon details, the trucks feature fully painted chassis and catwalk, Black Edition full leather interiors, full air suspension, Dura-Brite wheels, and a distinctive special edition livery—delivering both functionality and visual impact.

“These new vehicles are more than a statement of technological progress—they reflect our commitment to excellence and our deep appreciation for the people who keep our wheels turning,” said Chris Slowey, Managing Director at Manfreight.

The two trucks have been entrusted to drivers Paul McDermott (MFZ 780) and John McGuckin (SL25 WEY), both of whom bring years of experience and dedication to the company’s frontline operations.

“Volvo’s new FH16 780 Aero brings unmatched power, efficiency, and comfort to long-haul logistics, and we’re delighted to see them in the hands of two exceptional professionals. We look forward to seeing them on the road and delivering excellence for our customers,” Chris Slowey added.

The introduction of these vehicles underscores Manfreight’s strategic vision of continuous improvement and fleet sustainability, as the company continues to lead the way in the logistics and transport sector across the UK and Ireland.
