TRUCKMAKERS' WORLDWIDE SHOW * Germany: IAA 2008 Hannover Truck Show.
International Truck of the Year 2009 !!! ... and the winner is ... The new Mercedes Actros !!!
Hanover,Germany -Biglorryblog (London,UK) -25 Sept 2008: -- The new Mercedes-Benz Actros (that's it pictured above), has been elected International Truck of the Year 2009 by the 20-strong jury of leading European commercial vehicle journalists. This brings up the hat-trick for Actros in the commercial vehicle industry's most prestigious accolade... Many jury members commented on the fact Actros is now offered with a complete safety package including laneguard system, ESP and ACC which is made available to all customers, including their own CharterWay rental company. Safety of commercial vehicles and other road users is of primary concern to everyone involved in the sector and the jury welcomes the initiatives shown by Mercedes in this area. The Actros has benefited from a number of improvements to the driveability and efficiency of the truck and this was also commented on by the jury members when making their decisions. The addition of the new automated Powershift transmission, as standard, is a major step forward in driver comfort, as is the addition of the new bunk arrangement...
Actros fought off a strong challenge from the new Iveco Eurocargo (pictured 2 ) to take the trophy...
The new Volvo FH (Picture 3 ) and Scania R Series with EGR engine shared the third position.Labels: truckmakers' show
