THE FIRST Mercedes-Benz truck to wear the colours of high profile container haulier A&D Logistics has been quick to impress with its combination of fuel efficiency and driver comfort.
The Actros 2548 ‘seed vehicle’ is being put to the test against similarly specified tractor units by two other manufacturers over six months.
Supplied by dealer Western Commercial, it has a top of the range GigaSpace cab, and is powered by a 12.8 litre straight six engine producing 350kW (476hp).
