Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks coming to India

US based automaker DaimlerChrysler is launching the Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks in the Indian market. This would mark their entry into the competitive commercial vehicles market in India.

We already have players like Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and Volvo here and Mercedes Benz should provide great competition in the higher segments of this automobile market.

These trucks are designed to cater to e high-tonnage special applications market. DaimlerChrylser has launched two variants: the Actros 4040K and the Actros 4840K.

The company said in a statement that these trucks feature state-of-the-art technology, robust build quality and the Mercedes-Benz standards of vehicle engineering and safety.

They are available as a completely built imported chassis and feature a 12-liter engine with delivery output of about 400-horse power at an rpm as low as 1800. This kind of engine capacities makes these trucks the most powerful products available in the Indian market.

Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, managing director and CEO of DaimlerChrysler India spoke about these new products: “India is a promising market for us. We pioneered the luxury car segment in this country and now look forward to establish ourselves in this niche market.”
