Elddis takes North East’s first Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin

UK haulier Elddis Transport has continued its tradition of investing early in the latest Mercedes-Benz truck technology – taking delivery of the first Actros L ProCabin to hit the roads in the North East.

The Actros L 2548 is the first of a batch of eight ProCabins, all to be supplied to Consett-based Elddis over the next four weeks.

Already available here in Ireland, the Actros L ProCabin’s innovative design makes it one of the most distinctive trucks on the road.

“The Actros L ProCabin has been described as a ‘Marmite’ truck, but we love it,” said Elddis executive chairman Nigel Cook. “It’s different, but that is what state of the art often is.

“In fact the truck was already attracting attention before we even took delivery – I put an early photograph of it on our Facebook page and it was viewed 320,000 times in just a few days!

“These trucks make a bold statement but investing in the Actros L ProCabin is no leap in the dark,” he continued. “We know we can trust the vehicle because behind that futuristic face it has the same high-quality Mercedes-Benz engineering that we’ve been relying on for years.”
