Top operators turn on the style at Volvo European final

The final this year featured 22 qualifiers from 11 countries all across Europe and pitted them against the clock and each other in an intense competition featuring a warm-up round (to determine the starting order) and three testing challenges using a range of Volvo CE machines, including wheeled loaders, tracked compact radius excavators, and compaction machinery. Representing Great Britain were, highly experienced operators, Chris Charlton and Philip Port, pictured above in the front row 2nd and 3rd from the right, who came in position 2o and 10 respectively. This great video from Volvo gives us a taste of the action.
Austrian newcomer Johannes Unger claimed the 2013 European Operators Club title in spectacular style and by only 19 seconds from nine-time finalist Ueli Hunziker. Third position was awarded to Germany's Michael Rosendahl.
