Customised promotional model vehicle specialists, Search Impex, are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of a 1:50 scale Volvo FH5 Globetrotter XL 460 Euro 6 (6x2) tractor unit and 3 axle, SDC curtain trailer. The model will be customised in Boughey Distribution’s corporate livery, but enhanced with a subtle anniversary logo to the cab corners of the Volvo unit as something of a quiet nod to 60 years of service.
The models will be produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as a certificated Limited Edition.

The company’s fleet of 165 vehicles and 300 curtain-sided trailers covers in excess of 12 million miles each year. Investing in new fleet and the very latest technology, vehicle performance and efficiency are high priorities for Boughey, along with ensuring driver comfort and safety.
With its striking red, white and blue livery, Boughey’s trucks will be a familiar sight to many UK spotters and collectors as the fleet travels the length and breadth of the UK. And the anniversary Volvo model, just like its real life counterpart, will include a subtle 60 years logo to just the cab wing corners and will come complete with an SDC branded curtain trailer with infilled side underrun bars carrying an “Our driver may not see you in this area” safety message.
