Sponsored Video: The Volvo FMX Tridem

Sponsored Video: Volvo Trucks – FMX Tridem: Maximising productivity

With a smaller turning radius, lower fuel consumption and reduced tyre wear – all at a higher payload – the Volvo FMX Tridem is designed to help maximise productivity.

Singapore company Chye Joo Construction was given an earthwork excavation project and went to Volvo Trucks, who then recommend the Tridem to them.

With the intention of providing a total solution, Volvo Trucks provides everything from driver training to a comprehensive service agreement so that customers can get the full support.

Singapore is ever developing, with lots of land reclamation, new malls, new buildings and new MRT lines. As a result, the construction industry faces many challenges in finding more efficient transport solutions to deal with the competition.

One special feature of the Tridem is how the last axle can be lifted when the vehicle is not loaded. This way, there will be less rolling resistance, less tyre wear and less fuel economy. When the Tridem is loaded, the last axle comes down and the vehicle is able to carry higher loads but not compromising on the turning radius.

Hence, the Tridem boasts a small turning circle, higher capacity and low fuel economy, all of which help Chye Joo Construction to meet the extensive requirements and complete the project on time. Chye Joo Construction bought 25 Tridem trucks and has experienced a saving of 20% in manpower and S$16,000 of fuel cost savings a year per Tridem.

Chye Joo Construction has reaped the benefits of the Tridem, which helped to enhance productivity and increase profitability, and hence would like to share this secret with everyone.

    Cycling on the road can be dangerous and scary, so Cycling on the road can be dangerous and scary, so make sure you're equipped safely - helmet is a MUST! And always be alert as some drivers can be real a-holes on the road.

I've experienced drivers intentionally coming close to me to "squeeze" me off, drivers coming near me and honking aggressively, drivers winding down their windows to scold us... I'm also a driver and a cyclist and a motorbike rider, so I can relate to the different perspectives on the road.

Let's all exercise more patience so we can co-exist on the roads safer!

    The full proposal video, just in case you missed i The full proposal video, just in case you missed it. I really didn't see this coming and it was a sweet surprise!

We just got off the yacht and was gonna head home, so there I was with my hair in a mess and my clothes still wet. She suddenly pulled me and said "I love you darling" and I replied, "I love you too" and wanted to continue walking but she held onto me and I was like, huh what's going on.

Then she opened a ring box and I went, "What?!" as you can see in the video lol. I soon realised what was happening and the first thing I did was step out of frame to put my things down because I didn't want to look 'auntie' hahahahaha. #priorities

When I turned back she went on her knee and the tears started flowing.

"I chose these rings because they contain two elements, from the Earth and the sky, because you ground me yet keep my head in the clouds. I cannot imagine my life without you, will you marry me, Cheryl Tay Pei Shi?"

Of course I said yes.

And then couldn't stop crying.

I also love how my friends were cheering on the sidelines and shouting instructions like corner men in a fight. Hahahahaha!

Watching this makes me cry again, aawww. Thank you @rriley @thepinksoldier @jyanyoga @censkiii @latimerbarbara @itshaneri for witnessing this special moment of my life and for sharing in our joy.

To a lifetime ahead @thehuangergames, ilysm.

The waiting time for lessons is quite long, so it's taken a while to clear the practical lessons but yay finally done with the lessons. We only have 3 practical lessons for Class 2A and I waited a month between each lesson phew.

Appreciate the instructors at CDC working overtime so they can clear the backlog (due to circuit breaker a year ago) and have more slots opened for us. 🙏🙏🙏

Just gotta be patient!
