A new official world speed record has been set in Sweden by a somewhat unlikely vehicle, a piece of construction equipment more commonly seen on civil engineering projects or quarry sites. The machine, a Volvo CE wheeled loader, was specially modified for the record attempt and managed to clock 103km/h along the asphalt at Sweden’s Anderstorp race track. It was driven by one of Volvo CE’s team of demonstration drivers.
