Vlog 182: Melbourne FOGO -

I thought it was about time someone filmed in the City of Melbourne, finally the drought has been broken! haha. On the first day of my school holidays I gave it a shot, it was a really successful morning as I was pretty lucky to catch 2 spare trucks in the same area. For the Melbourne contract, Citywide run a fleet of Bucher & Superior PAK Dennis side arms, and also this Ex Demo Iveco, Citywide is no stranger to buying Ex Demo units, having 4 in total, Today we see the 2018 Ex Demo Iveco Acco Euro 5 Facelift, with a Bucher SPORT SL220 body, and fitted out with an Extend-A-Slide Arm & UG-6 Grabbers, Interestingly it doesn’t have a visor, and I’m pretty sure its the only Acco in the Citywide fleet without one.

This truck was used as a demo truck for a few months/years, (apparently it was used in Tasmania for a period of time) before Citywide got it in early 2021 I believe, Weirdly this truck hasn’t received any branding or logos, however I’ve been told it is unit #FN21024, This truck mostly acts as a spare truck in the Melbourne contract, but can be seen in Moreland if there is a shortage of trucks.

Today we see Liam in it doing the Monday Area A FOGO run, Normally there is only 1 truck doing the weekly FOGO collections in Melb, being the perm unit #FN18073, but some days have bigger runs/areas so 2 trucks are out, I found this truck after getting some helpful directions from the #FN18071 driver, and was pretty happy to find Liam driving and also being on FOGO was a bonus. Garbage, which was #FN18070 was following at the start, I did get a full video of that truck in the village that is featured in the last few clips of this video. The Garbage footage will be uploaded in the not too distant future.

Thanks to Liam for being cool with me filming, If you are watching, thanks again.
