This Volvo FL280 is a fuel tanker truck — sometimes referred to as a road tanker or bowser — designed for the transport and delivery of fuel by road. Fuel tanker trucks of this kind are essential across a wide range of industries, including commercial haulage, construction, agriculture, and fuel distribution, providing a safe and compliant means of moving liquid fuels in bulk. Volvo is a globally recognised Swedish manufacturer with a long-established reputation for producing robust, reliable heavy commercial vehicles used across logistics, construction, and specialist transport operations worldwide.
This example was built in 2014 and is configured as a 4x2 rigid truck with a manual gearbox, rated at 16 tonnes gross vehicle weight. It is compliant with Euro 6 emission standards, reflecting the stricter exhaust regulations in force for vehicles of this period. The odometer shows 340,000 kilometres of recorded use.
The tank itself has a capacity of 11,000 litres and is constructed from aluminium, a material widely favoured in fuel tanker applications for its combination of light weight, corrosion resistance, and strength. The aluminium construction helps to maximise payload capacity within the 16-tonne gross weight rating while maintaining structural integrity over the working life of the vehicle. The truck is offered in used condition and is currently located in the United Kingdom.
