The truck was spotted in Spain during testing. The low Actros distribution cab is going to be more ergonomic…… Continue Reading
For some reason both German brands always had a wide- and a narrow cab in their program. Wide cabs for optimal space and narrower cabs for regional- and city purposes. A strange habbit, because the narrow cabs are in the lower parts of the cab just as wide as the 250 cm wide cabs. So…… Continue Reading

The other truck we found has a longer ProCabin cab. The sleeper cab is much longer than the model…… Continue Reading
