Truck hire specialist MC Rental has signed an order for 100 Mercedes-Benz Actros L tractor units featuring the ProCabin.

The first of the new trucks is due for delivery in May, with the rest of the order to be completed across the year.

All will be Actros L 2553 units powered by 390 kW (530 hp), 12.8-litre in-line six-cylinder engines.

Their Giga ProCabins will feature double bunks, premium heated seats, fridges and luxury touches such as ambient lighting and extra USB-C sockets in the side walls.

The ProCabin’s smooth front panel includes improved aerodynamics that also bring a fuel efficiency improvement of up to three percent.

Other features include the latest version of Mercedes-Benz Active Brake Assist, now in its sixth generation, as well as Active Sideguard Assist and Front Guard Assist.

Meanwhile driver comfort and efficiency are enhanced by Predictive Powertrain Control and Active Drive Assist functions, and the My TruckPoint platform provides a range of over-the-air services direct to the cab.

The trucks will join MC Rental’s fleet of more than 2,500 commercial vehicles and be offered to customers across various industries, nationwide, via a range of tailored rental solutions.

MC Rental will receive back-up from Mercedes-Benz and supplying Dealer Bell Truck and Van.

Gina Ritrovato, MC Rental Director of Business Development, said: “Our investment in these stunning new trucks is part of a combined strategy to both refresh and expand our fleet.

“Some will replace older models, maintaining our average vehicle age at less than two years old. Others will increase our capacity to cope with growing demand.”
