Local vehicle manufacturer SAIPA Diesel is set to introduce a new Volvo truck in the Iranian market.

The company will unveil Volvo FM 460, which is fabled as “the most eco-friendly and versatile” heavy duty vehicle of the Swedish company, local automotive website Khodro Nevis reported.

According to the producer, I-Shift transmission system of the truck decreases fuel consumption by 5%.
