Truck news: Images from the Volvo Trucks Asia Pacific Fuelwatch Challenge 2015 : Real people, lots of emotion and energy.




Most of the pics below would basically tell the tale of the Malaysian Volvo Trucks contingent to the recent Asia Pacific Fuelwatch Challenge 2015 which was recently held in Hua Hin, Thailand. There were lots of pleasant memories made over there. The pictures will tell the story as an online record to what happened then - meeting new friends, new challenges, new experiences, the laughter and more.

 ...here we have the Malaysian contingent consisting of journalists (with one chap from Singapore....Ben, we know your nickname!!!!) , our Champion and his company rep as well as the very, very pleasant people of Volvo Malaysia. The truck in the picture is the Volvo FM, a familiar sight on Malaysian roads
