MERCEDES-BENZ ACSOR
Having received the title “Truck of the Year” two years ago thanks to the Atego model, the company again claims to be on the podium. This time with the new Axor, which will complement the range of medium and heavy class trucks popular in Europe - Atego and Aktros. In autumn, Axor will first appear in public, and the first road train, led by a beginner, will be launched next year.
According to Mercedes, the truck is notable for its low weight, low fuel consumption and relative ease of maintenance: in Europe, you will have to call in for maintenance no more than once every 120 thousand km. As standard, Axor is equipped with a sleeping cabin with a length of 2250 mm, a low (1510 mm) or high (1910 mm) roof. The driver’s “cabinet” is not only spacious, but also beautifully finished: on request, the front panel will be made in wood.
