United Kingdom: May 29, 2012 Mercedes-Benz dealer Enza unveils stunning New Actros The revolutionary new Mercedes-Benz Actros premium long-haultractor unit range was the star attraction for some of theNorth-West's leading road transport operators, at a launch eventstaged by leading dealer Enza. The event, held at the Oulton Park race circuit in Cheshire, gaveguests their first chance to put the striking vehicle - recentlyvoted International Truck of the Year - through its paces on UKroads. Developed from a blank sheet of paper, New Actros is the ultimatepremium truck for long-distance transport. From the outset,designers and engineers were determined to provide the bestpossible comfort, driving dynamics, safety, productivity andoperating economy, as well as a sweeping range of cab sizes, engineratings and options, allowing customers to tailor vehiclesperfectly for any application. The current Actros holds the Guinness World Record for fuel economyat 40 tonnes gvw, but on-the-road tests have shown that the newmodel is a remarkable seven per cent more frugal when specified tomeet Euro 5 emissions regulations, while even the ultra-clean Euro6 version shows a four per cent improvement. Following refreshments, the 81 guests took turns to head out on a17-mile test drive in four demonstrator trucks provided for theevent. Carefully chosen to simulate a variety of typical drivingconditions, the route included both single- and dual-carriagewayroads. Each truck made 10 journeys, so a total of almost 700 mileswas covered on the day! On each trip, the mpg figure achieved was recorded and at the endof the day the winner was Craig Stewart, Logistics Manager ofWidnes-based Ray Stewart Haulage, who averaged an impressive11.4mpg in the 510hp V8-powered Actros 2551, and 11.8mpg in the450hp Actros 2545 model. Between journeys, guests also enjoyed 'hotlaps' of the Oulton Park circuit in two-seater racing cars pilotedby professional drivers. Mark May, Transport Manager of food waste and animal by- productsrecycling specialist John Pointon & Sons, summed up the feelings ofmany when he said: "It was a great day, very informative andenjoyable, and superbly organised. The New Actros is simplybrilliant. The driving experience was fantastic and if the fuelperformance figures are to be believed it will be an unbeatableall-round package. The previous Actros is a very good truck - butthis new one is a huge step forward." Enza is a leading member of the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicledealer network.
