Team BOC, like many teams in the V8 Supercar Championship Series, operate a B-Double transporter to transport their cars and equipment to all but the fly-away rounds of the championship.
They are a purpose build rig, weighing in excess of 54 tonnes once loaded. Its an important and expensive load, with the total package worth over $3,000,000 once loaded and on the road.
Team BOC use a state of the art Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL Prime mover to haul their two trailers.
Volvo Trucks has been a part of Australia's road transport industry since 1967 when four fully imported Volvo trucks were put to work with Mayne Nickless. Since then, all of Australia's Volvo trucks have either been assembled or manufactured in Australia.
With the opening of the Wacol, Queensland factory in 1972, Volvo Trucks has grown to become one of the largest truck suppliers to the Australian transport industry.
With their headquarters in Chulllora, NSW, Volvo Truck Australia is supported by regional offices in Brisbane and Melbourne and a widespread network of authorised dealers and service workshops.
The FH16 is the pride of the Volvo fleet. With its in-line 6-cylinder, 16.1-litre, diesel engine with turbo and intercooler, producing 610 horsepower (449kW) and 2,800 Newton Metres of torque, the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL easily pulls the 54 tonne 'B' double package including the $3,000,000 payload.
