1. Mercedes-Benz Actros
The Mercedes-Benz Actros is a sleek, versatile truck with safety and fuel efficiency at its heart, which has helped the Mercedes-Benz become a leading UK truck supplier.
Mercedes-Benz has never been afraid to innovate and the move to Euro-6 provided the opportunity to reinvent Actros as all things, to all operators. While safety and fuel efficiency are the main focus of this truck, the Actros really goes to town with its specifications and therefore will be a standout vehicle on any fleet.

2. Mercedes-Benz Atego
Now in its 22nd year, the Mercedes-Benz Atego 7.5 tonner enjoys a solid reputation for durability, quality engineering and performance.
Spacious and comfortable; it enjoys success in the own-account sectors and compliments fleets with larger Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Weight and price tag usually combine to keep Atego towards the back of the field when it comes to sales. That said, not everyone wants to max out a 7.5 tonner and if they run bigger Mercs then an Atego is the obvious choice. There is plenty going for it; a very impressive engine, transmission and driveline, and a cabin that drivers love to work in. In an age where many choose for run-of-the-mill chassis-cabs supplied by DAF, Iveco and Renault – all with the same cab – then perhaps being different means buying an Atego.
