3-year-old opens up semi-truck in world's largest unboxing

July 11 (UPI) -- A lucky 3-year-old "truck enthusiast" helped set a world record by unboxing a full-size heavy truck.

Volvo Trucks North America organized the stunt to unveil its new Volvo VNL model semi-truck and claimed the Guinness World Record for "Largest object unboxed."

Pennsylvania youngster Joel Jovine did the honors of opening up the massive 80-by-14-by-18-foot box, which housed the new truck.

"Setting a Guinness World Records title was truly remarkable, but what was most rewarding for me was seeing Joel become so excited seeing the new Volvo VNL 760 revealed when he opened the box," Volvo spokesman Magnus Koeck said.

Guinness World Records regulations required the box be made entirely out of standard box materials including cardboard and cellophane.

It was also required that the box be opened manually, without the use of tools, and that the truck be removed from the box without destroying it.

Jovine gently opened the large flap on the front of the box before making his way inside the truck that featured a television, a bed and a fridge stocked with juice bottles.

A driver soon entered the truck to guide it out of the massive box, as onlookers cheered and Guinness World Records adjudicator Michael Emperic presented the crew with a plaque commemorating their achievement.
