Fine increased for stowaways. Potentially save a hefty fine by enrolling in the Civil Penalty Accreditation Scheme.

Drivers who are caught with stowaways this year should expect a significant rise in fines. Carriers will be required to pay up to £10,000 for each migrant found inside their lorry starting on February 13. Right now, it can reach £2,000.

If businesses can show they have made every attempt to abide by the rules on securing vehicles and they are members of the Civil Penalty Accreditation Scheme, penalties may be remitted.

Hear from a Mercedes-Benz Apprentice

‘I applied for this apprenticeship as it was a great opportunity to earn whilst I learn. As well as providing me with experience which is imperative for my future. Choosing Mercedes was easy, being one of the top prestigious brands I knew it would give me great opportunities as well as support throughout my course. My day-to-day roles differ a lot, with each one bringing a new challenge and a new skill to learn. If I need it, I have the endless support of my mentor and Manager alongside everyone else in the workshop. They are always more than happy to lend a hand if I’m stuck on a tricky job. Mercedes give you all the resources you will need to help you learn, as well as a Development Coach should I need it. My goal in the future is to be a diagnostic technician working alongside the team that taught me here at our Nursling depot.’’

The Mercedes-Benz Apprentice Academy has been in place since 1995 and since then over 1,500 of our apprentices have graduated from the scheme.

The first all-electric service 24HR van hits our London based depot

Marshall Mercedes-Benz Van Croydon has just registered its first all-electric eVito 24-hour roadside assistance van.

Service24h is the roadside support service from Mercedes-Benz. Our qualified Mercedes-Benz Technicians work to provide you with around-the-clock assistance throughout the UK and Europe. The average response time for the Mercedes-Benz Vans roadside assistance unit is 66 minutes, with 87% of vans fixed at the roadside and sent on their way.

The eVito’s 66kWh battery is mounted beneath the body allowing the space needed in the cargo area to provide technicians with a practical workspace and to carry equipment and parts. The van has an average range of 162 miles.

Customer Testimonials

‘’I could see immediately that it was a quality product and well suited to our work, while Marshall Truck & Van’s proximity to us was also a big attraction,” recalled Mr Simpson. “On this basis, I was very happy to order our first Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Since shortly after they arrived both have been on 24-hour hire to our local water supplier,” explained Mr Simpson, “helping to deal with parts of the drainage network that have experienced very high flows with all the heavy rain we’ve seen in this region.” He continued: “These are still relatively early days but we’re very confident that we’ve made a wise choice. The Arocs are performing strongly while the feedback from our drivers has been extremely positive, with the comfortable, well-equipped cabs coming in for particular praise.‘’
