Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Worth on the Rhine – At the end of January, at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth the handover of 14 Actros L trucks with the new ProCabin to Tevex Logistics GmbH was celebrated. The logistics company from North Rhine-Westphalia specialises in refrigerated transport and supplies food retailers throughout Germany. The vehicle handover is the first step in a comprehensive renewal of the company’s fleet. The order totals 150 Actros L vehicles, which will be delivered this year, and represents a milestone in the long-standing partnership between Tevex and Mercedes-Benz Trucks. A further 50 Actros L are under option.

“Our relationship with Mercedes-Benz Trucks is more than just a business relationship. It is characterised by trust, continuous exchange and a shared passion for innovation. With the new Actros L ProCabin, we are relying on vehicles that not only impress with their outstanding technology, but also with their special looks,” explained Dirk Mutlak, Managing Director of Tevex Logistics GmbH. “These vehicles aren’t just visual eye-catchers, they offer us technologies to make our business even more efficient, sustainable and traffic safe.”

The new Actros models are not only distinguished by their striking, white and red Tevex decals, but also come with plenty of innovations. The biggest eye-catcher is the new “ProCabin” cab, which reduces fuel consumption through improved aerodynamics and thus contributes to increased efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. In addition, the use of Fleetboard keeps the focus on consumption at all times. Among other things, Fleetboard provides data on the deployment, driving behaviour and status of the trucks in real time and offers intelligent networking of drivers, fleet and order.

For its daily trips, the haulage company also wants the best safety standards for drivers and road traffic and relies on the safety assistance systems from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. With Active Brake Assist 6 emergency braking assistant and Active Sideguard Assist 2 turning assistant, the trucks provide safety assistance systems that go beyond the legal requirements and can perform automated braking for pedestrians and cyclists. These systems can help to significantly increase the safety of drivers and other road users and can reduce the risk of accidents.

“For us, it is not only important to have safe and powerful trucks, but also those that support our sustainability goals. These modern diesel trucks are an important part of our strategy to reduce CO2 emissions, while we are also gaining initial experience with electric trucks,” Mutlak continues.

Tevex Logistics GmbH is a long-standing partner in road testing, including for battery-electric truck models from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. This additional collaboration demonstrates the company’s commitment to actively shaping change in the transport industry and to testing and introducing the latest technologies.
