Actros Truck of the Year….again

The Mercedes-Benz Actros has been voted Truck of the Year 2012 by a panel of European trucking industry journalists.

It’s the fourth time the Merc flagship has won the award – the success starting with the very first Actros, back in 1997. It’s also the eighth time that a Mercedes-Benz has taken the title, making it the most successful make in the awards’ history.

Truck of the Year jury president Gianenrico Griffini says that with the new Actros, Mercedes-Benz has “combined evolutionary elements with revolutionary new developments that raise the bar for efficiency, safety and comfort in a heavy-duty vehicle.”
