THE GOVERNING body of world motor sport, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), has bought five MercedesBenz Actros 1848LS with BlueTec Euro-5 SCR engines from Surrey and Sussex dealer Rossetts Commercials.
The trucks feature fiat-floored, air-conditioned MegaSpace cabs, and 16-speed Mercedes PowerShift automated transmissions.
Three are reduced-height MidiLine Actros, while two are even lower Lo-Line models; a sixth truck is due to arrive before the end of the year.
All five trucks, together with their bespoke trailers built by German specialist Shuler, will be serviced under full M-B repair and maintenance contracts at Rossetts' Worthing workshop.
They will transport the FIA technical department's equipment and offices to all the European rounds of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
