THE NEW generation Actros will take centre stage on the Mercedes-Benz stand (2C60) at the CV Show, following its launch last year. It is the first truck developed specifically to comply with the forthcoming Euro-6 emissions standard.
Along with two used vehicles, as well as a Sprinter and Vito, perhaps it’s more pertinent that the city van, the Citan, won’t be on the stand – it won’t get its UK launch until the start of 2013. Competing for attention will be the new Fuso Canter.
Mercedes also announced new service contracts with a revised and re-priced programme to lower costs. James Ostridge, service contracts manager, says the new packages for Actros, Axor and Atego vehicles could cost some 15% less to maintain than before. The new service contracts are ‘Complete’, a fully comprehensive maintenance and repair offer; and ‘Managed Service’, which looks after costs such as servicing and inspections, and is ideal for older vehicles or for those on a reduced budget.
