RSSUK company 2739 Chepstow Plant International has placed orders for a further 40 359 Volvo CE units in 2011.

In 2010, the company, based near Chepstow, County Monmouthshire, Wales, which specialises in long-term contracts with operated and non-operated plant, bought a total of 50 Volvo excavators, articulated haulers and loading shovels.

CPI, which specialises in high production projects in the UK and abroad, are also the first to have taken delivery of two 2740 Perlini DP405 rigid dump trucks since Volvo Construction Equipment Division in the UK became official dealers for the Perlini range of rigid haulers in June, 2010.

The majority of machines for 2011 consist of Volvo A25F and A40F articulated haulers with a mix of shovels and excavators ranging from EW160C (16tonnes) to the latest EC380D (38tonnes), the package being both a replacement programme as well as an increment to the CPI fleet of equipment.

To provide added value to CPI's customer base all Volvo-supplied products are equipped with CareTrack telematics utilising the latest technology in machine management. CareTrack provides operational data remotely via the Internet, including fuel consumption and idle time, all helping to reduce cost of ownership and maximise utilisation. All the Volvo equipment supplied to CPI during 2010 and for 2011 is covered under a Volvo Blue Customer Support Agreement.
