• Mercedes-Benz is now building 8 x 4 chassis on its main truck production line at Worth in southern Germany. Although current production of the 3025K eight-wheel tipper chassis sold in the UK is still being carried out at the NAW plant at Arbon in Switzerland, all other Mercedes 8 x 4s and several other twin-steer models are now being produced at Worth. The 8 x 4s are, in the main, more powerful, and in some cases heavier, than the British market model. They include a 3028 and an unusually-powerful 3336 unit.
CI Prices of Mercedes-Benz's commercials will rise by an average of 3.3% from Monday 13 July, although current dealer stocks will remain unaffected by the increase.
The actual increases will be 3.5% on the 207D, and the 210, 2.5% on the 307D, and the 310, and 4% on the rest of the T2 range, and LN1 range, as well as all rigids and artics.
