A NEW Mercedes 814, 7.5-tonner will soon be on its way to the Himalayas. The vehicle has been given to the Austrian Karakorum Expedition for an overland journey from Vienna to Rawalpindi in Parkistan. The expedition's ultimate target, without the lorry, is the 7,000m (23,000ft) K12 group of peaks. Mercedes says that the 814, which will become available in the UK next month, has not been specially prepared for its arduous journey.
