We’re pretty sure the Streamliner would still attract attention today and you can find out more about it here.
And from history to the future – we thought the new Bevan 21 bodies looked modern until we saw these concept trucks from Luigi Colani courtesy of Dark Roasted Blend!
Impressive stuff but perhaps a fair few years before we’ll be seeing anything like this on the road! For Mercedes Benz in the present day we’re delighted to announce that our new Mercedes fleet is now available for rent and you can see a few Actros snaps in our media gallery.
But where would the trucks of yesterday, today and the future be without the diesel engine?
