Freight forwarder Virnek was the first Slovenian transport company to add the Actros L with ProCabin to its fleet. The new truck is a strategic investment for Virnek and another step towards sustainability and efficiency.  The passion for the new truck can be felt throughout the enterprise – from its drivers to its executive management: “After only 3,000 kilometers, we cannot yet state any final figures, but the consumption seems to be about two liters per 100 kilometers lower than that of the predecessor,” says company owner Rudolf Novak. The lower CO₂ emissions due to the aerodynamic vehicle design also brings noticeable financial benefits. The first trip in the Actros L with ProCabin also particularly impressed experienced driver and long-time employee Ismet Dostović: "I hardly notice any difference between driving this truck or a car. The cab is extremely quiet, the driving position is perfectly adjustable, and the seat is even more comfortable than before."

Did you know that one million heavy-duty engines (HDEP) have already rolled off the production line at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Mannheim? The heavy-duty engine generation is used in all heavy-duty conventional commercial vehicles from Daimler Truck AG, including the Actros or Arocs. With a displacement range of 10.7 litres to 15.6 litres and power outputs from 240 to 460 kW (from 326 to 626 hp), these engines are designed for efficiency and performance. A key factor in improving fuel efficiency is optimised turbocharging. With the third generation of the OM 471, Mercedes-Benz Trucks introduced two new turbochargers developed and manufactured in-house, which are precisely tailored to meet your needs: ✅ The first consumption-optimised variant with a focus on the lowest possible fuel consumption – designed for use in long-distance transport with an engine output of up to 350 kW (476 hp). ✅ The second turbocharger variant, designed for high performance and a high engine braking force and ideal for use in the heavy-duty and construction sector with an engine rating of up to 390 kW (530 hp). Compared to the previous generation, the OM 471 achieves fuel savings of up to 4% for lower and medium performance levels and up to 3.5% for higher performance levels. Thanks to lower consumption, both operating costs, as well as CO₂ emissions, are reduced. #MercedesBenzTrucks #TrucksYouCanTrust

This March, take a look at this historic treasure: the Daimler-Lastwagen 4 hp from 1899, a groundbreaking innovation that shaped the future of transportation. Did you know? This is the third version of the world’s first-ever motorized truck, originally built in 1896. Its 4 hp two-cylinder engine was inspired by Gottlieb Daimler’s renowned Phoenix engines. This 126-year-old legend, with its revolutionary design evolution, now resides in the Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic collection as a testament to Daimler’s pioneering spirit and enduring legacy of innovation. You can see this vehicle live at the special exhibition "Legends on Wheels - Pioneering Spirit, Innovation, Tradition" at the Technik Museum Speyer, in cooperation with Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic, until March 2026. But that’s not all! The original 1899 truck isn't just on display at the Technik Museum Speyer – it's also undergoing a technical restoration in the museum’s glass-fronted workshop. The goal? By March 2026, this legendary vehicle will be able to drive away from the exhibition hall by itself! What are your thoughts on this piece of history? #MercedesBenzTrucks #TrucksYouCanTrust #TruckOfTheMonth
