Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks equips vehicles with armored cab ex works

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks is expanding its product range and will in future be offering the Zetros truck series with a protected driver’s cab ex works.

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will be offering the Zetros off-road truck with four axles and all-wheel drive (8x8) in two variants from 2025 onwards. The Zetros will then be available in various configurations from a two-axle to a four-axle model. The Zetros 8x8, which Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will be exhibiting at Eurosatory, is the result of a major order from the Canadian Ministry of Defence, under which more than 1500 Zetros vehicles will be delivered over the next few years. Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will also be presenting a Zetros with a protected cab at Eurosatory. From now on, the vehicle with a protected cab can be delivered directly from the Wörth plant. Further, Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will be able to offer the entire product range of the high-terrain Zetros from 4x4 to 8x8 with and without a protected cab from a single source. Visitors to stand D127 (EXTPe6b Outdoor) will also find other vehicles for military use: a Unimog U5000 with a flatbed and tarpaulin as a troop transporter, an Arocs 6x6 with a double winch as an armored tractor unit, a Zetros 4x4 and the variable FGA chassis as a tactical chassis for armored personnel carriers (APC).
