The new FH16 XXL is heading to SRH Milk Haulage, where it will pull an A-Double tanker combination between sites on the NSW Central and Northern Coasts.

Scott, Regina, and Mitchell Harvey of SRH Milk Haulage were present at the Wacol facility to witness the truck’s completion and mark the historic moment.

“Our long-standing relationship with Volvo Trucks makes this even more special,” says Scott Harvey. “Knowing the trucks are engineered and built locally for Australian conditions is a game changer for us.”

“We operate 24/7 across three states, so uptime and productivity are crucial. Milk can’t sit on the side of the road!”

Scott adds, “We’re excited to see this truck join our fleet, and I’m sure our drivers will be too.”

Tom Chapman, Vice President of Volvo Trucks Australia, shared, “Scott and Regina aren’t just customers to us—they’re family. Watching SRH grow has been a privilege. With 3800Nm of torque, this truck will effortlessly haul an 85-ton combination up and down the Pacific Highway.”
