Mercedes-Benz Actros reaches half-million mark
Mercedes-Benz Trucks flagship model and widely-produced heavy-duty truck in Europe, Actros, has rolled off the 500,000th truck at the assembly line at the production plant in Worth, Germany. The arctic-white 1841 LS semi trailer tractor was handed over to French shipping company Star's Service.
Hubertus Troska, head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks (Europe/Latin America) said that with a 22% market share in Western Europe in 2006, and customers in more than 100 countries, the Actros is a truly global truck that reliably performs its services from the arctic cold of Siberia to the sub-tropic climate of central Africa.
He also added that half-a-million vehicles manufactured underscores the outstanding success of our flagship model as a technology leader, which combines reliability, economy, and comfort at the highest levels.
