Articulated truck line marks 50 years of haulage
The articulated dump truck concept celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016, marking half a century of transporting materials over rough, muddy, slippery, steep or otherwise impassable terrain. Volvo Construction Equipment, the company that commercially launched the concept in 1966, still claims market leadership in this sector, and has continued to innovate with the launch this year of its H-Series range, which includes its biggest ever production articulated hauler, the 60-ton-capacity A60H. With so much going on, it may have been easy to overlook the launch of the DR631, marking the birth of the ADT.
