Synopsis
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is not only is the first new book
examining the history and development of Mercedes-Benz trucks in
decades, but is also the first to examine the brand’s truck products and
operations from a truly global perspective. Originally perceived as a
European manufacturer, today, the company builds trucks in the four
corners of the world – from the Americas and Australia, to China and
Russia – and all of these entities and the products they build are
explored here.
Historical information and material from Mercedes-Benz’s official
archives is combined with original colour images of working trucks,
including the very latest environmentally compliant models, to give the
reader an in-depth picture of how the company has grown, both
organically and by acquisition, to become the most dominant global truck
maker.
Extensively researched, and encompassing information from operators,
dealers, drivers, and individuals who have been involved with the
marque, this unique book provides a never before seen perspective on how
Mercedes-Benz developed its products to provide transportation
solutions across some of the most diverse operating conditions in the
world.
