Mercedes-Benz Actros is "Green Truck 2013"

Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 is most eco-friendly commercial vehicle

Three places among the top 10 in environmental ranking for the Mercedes-Benz Actros

Award determined by the editorial teams from 'Trucker' and 'VerkehrsRundschau' magazines

The Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace is the most eco-friendly commercial vehicle of 2013. The Euro VI-compliant truck made a direct impact in what was just its first year on the road thanks to its low fuel consumption, as proven last year in these independent vehicle tests.

As Dr Jörg Zürn, Head of Truck Product Engineering Heavy/Medium Duty Platform CoE, commented at the award ceremony:

"The award of the title of 'Green Truck 2013' to the Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace provides conclusive, independent confirmation of the results of the development work we have undertaken with the objective of creating a new, environmentally compatible truck that would comply with the Euro VI emissions standard. This is further reinforced by the news that two other variants of the Actros are also to be found in the top 10 of this environmental ranking."
