In order to further enhance its service offering to customers, Detmar Logistics, one of the Texas’s largest frac sand supply chain management companies, has partnered up with Volvo to provide 120 new vehicles to upgrade its truck fleet.
Commencing this autumn, Detmar will introduce a series of Volvo units into its operation to enhance efficiency, produce greater fuel economy and increase focus on sustainability by minimizing the impact of its fleet on the environment.

The upgrade of the current fleet reflects our commitment not only to our employees' health and safety but also our commitment to the superior service we aim to provide to our customers.

Having understood Volvo’s focus on reliability, support and fuel performance, both for economic and environmental reasons, we were able to select the right vehicle package, and as importantly, move fast to secure trucks with very specific specs, on time & at a mutually acceptable contracted price.”
