Hear from Andy:

‘’To use telematic systems such as Fleetboard to assess the driving styles of the driver, we then provide hints & tips to achieve greater fuel economy and drive experience.

I can provide information about the controls and systems, to the head driver who will then be able to pass the information on to other drivers of the same company.’’



Mercedes-Benz trucks feature many systems and technologies to ensure the highest level of comfort, safety and efficiency. That’s why we provide the necessary expertise to allow drivers to use all these features from the moment he starts his first trip.
