Elddis goes all out for high visual impact with new truck

The Actros L 2548 is the first of a batch of eight ProCabins, all to be supplied to Consett-based Elddis by dealer Bell Truck and Van over the coming weeks.

The Actros L ProCabin’s innovative design makes it already the most distinctive truck on the road, but in unmistakable Elddis livery and with the registration YE11 OWT (Yellow Truck) this vehicle is sure to be noticed wherever it goes.

The ProCabin owes its unique appearance to the smooth front panel – but this is not just a visual gimmick, as the cab’s improved aerodynamics also bring a fuel efficiency improvement of up to three percent.

The Elddis trucks are powered by 350 kW (476 hp), 12.8-litre in-line six-cylinder engines from the third-generation OM 471 family, which is engineered for optimum driving dynamics and efficiency. Their Big ProCabins feature premium bunks and heated seats, fridges and luxury touches such as ambient lighting and extra USB-C sockets in the side walls.

The fresh design is much more than skin-deep too – Actros L ProCabin trucks all boast a full suite of technological enhancements to boost both efficiency and safety. These 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. Together these and other standard systems help the vehicle meet or exceed the latest General Safety Regulations.

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