Leading a triple-whammy of show debuts, MercedesBenz's new Actros tractive unit will be shown the light of day for the first time officially in the UK in
Birmingham. Two units will be on display: a 4x2 1858LS with executive specification including Megaspace cab; and a 6x2 2546LS with the standard long distance cab.
Also making its debut on Merc's stand will be a new variant of the Atego six-wheel tipper and mixer chassis. The 6x4 2633K will be fitted with a Rouse tipper body and Edbro front-end tipping gear. An Atego 815 7.5-tonne chassis will accompany it, fitted with a JC Payne dry freight box body and Ratcliff alloy tall lift.
And another vehicle being shown in the UK for the first time is the facelifted Sprinter. Two new models will be under the spotlight: a 314 with LPG factory conversion; and the Sprinter -3, which features an additional row of three seats behind the front seats. Despite this, the Sprinter -3, which has a glazed side load door and panel and a bulkhead behind the second row of seats, still offers loadspace of around 7.5m3. Also on show will be a 308CDI tipper version with a steel floor and alloy-sided tipping body from TVL.
Needless to say, Merc's Axor fleet tractor, which had its UK debut at last year's CV Show, will also be back again this year. A 6x2 25431S Axor will be shown, fitted with a standard sleeper cab and nine-speed gearbox. Since going on sale last year, nearly 700 Axors have been registered. says Merc.
