By Will Shiers YOU READ it here first, and now it’s been confirmed: Stobart has taken delivery of 18 new Mercedes-Benz Actros tractors. Announcing the deal at the CV Show, Mercedes truck sales and marketing director Sam Whittaker said: “These are the first right-hand-drive new Actros to join a UK fleet. They will be used for general haulage and for pulling F1 trailers.” He said other UK hauliers have also placed orders, with deliveries expected in June. Although most have gone for Euro-5 versions, a handful of the greenest fleets have opted for Euro-6. On 1 May, Mercedes will put 100 demonstrator trucks on the road. The Euro-5 6x2 tractors will be used by UK hauliers to obtain real-life fuel data at 44 tonnes.
