Mercedes-Benz, the industry leader
The truck manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is the most successful participant of this competition that rewards technological advancement. Last year, the German manufacturer's Atego model was awarded the title of the Truck of the Year 2011 at the IAA International Motor Show in Hannover.
In 2012, the jury of the industry journalists from 24 European countries chose the winner based on several key criteria: innovations for road transportation, energy savings, emissions, safety, driveability and comfort. With its 161 points, the Mercedes Actros model was far ahead of its competitors, its runners-up only managed to obtain 67 and 50 points respectively.

The new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck is a major innovation, perfectly combining efficiency and quality. On the occasion of the Truck of the Year award ceremony, the Mercedes-Benz team expressed its sincerest gratitude towards the expert jury that had justly rewarded more than 10 years of its efforts. With this award, the dream of the Mercedes-Benz team to turn its new Actros truck into a standard setter for the years to come is on the right track!
