Volvo, Bruder Toys Partner for 1:16-Scale Volvo Hauler

Volvo Construction Equipment and Bruder Toys introduced a 1:16-scale version of Volvo CE’s A60H Articulated Hauler. First revealed last fall, the hauler is now available at retailers worldwide. The real truck weighs-in at 96,452 pounds, is 12 feet and 8 inches tall, and is 40 feet long. The Bruder version weighs in at just 4 pounds, and is around 7 inches tall and just 18.3 inches long. The realistic six-wheeler is built for both indoor and outdoor play and carries on a long tradition of partnership between Volvo CE and Bruder, dating back to the early ’80s.

The 1:16 Bruder Volvo CE A60H Articulated Hauler features a cab made from transparent, high-quality plastic; balloon tires; articulated steering design; and a fully functional tipping trough. It is also compatible with Bruder figures, sold separately. The hauler is designed for kids ages 3 and up.
