With around 6,500 trucks of its own, Girteka is one of the largest privately owned transportation companies in Europe. For a fleet of this size, continuous fleet renewal is a key lever for promoting high levels of reliability, safety, efficiency and service standards in operations across Europe over the long term.

Achim Puchert, CEO Mercedes-Benz Trucks: “With the Actros L ProCabin, we provide our customers with a truck that sets new standards in efficiency, safety, and driver comfort for long-haul transportation. I would like to thank Girteka for the continued trust they place in Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Their decision to add another 900 vehicles to their fleet goes far beyond a significant order. It is a strong endorsement of our long-standing partnership and our shared ambition to make long-haul transport more efficient, safer, and more sustainable for the future. This agreement also highlights the critical role that innovative vehicle technology, reliable service, and a strong sales and support network play in helping large fleets succeed and grow.”

Edvardas Liachovičius, CEO of Girteka Group: “Our cooperation with Mercedes-Benz Trucks goes back many years, and this agreement is another important step in that partnership. Working with leading manufacturers allows us to continuously introduce newer technologies into our fleet, improve the working environment for our drivers and maintain the level of reliability our customers expect from us. For temperature-controlled and high-value cargo, this consistency is especially important.”

Optimized Cab Design and Aerodynamics

The newly designed Actros L ProCabin has been consistently engineered with a focus on aerodynamics and efficiency in long-haul transport. An 80 mm longer front end, optimized transitions and aerodynamically refined body components improve airflow and can support the economical operation of large fleets.

Safety Assistance Systems for Enhanced Safety

The vehicles are equipped with Active Brake Assist, which combines radar and camera data. Within system limits, it can detect vehicles driving ahead, stationary vehicles and crossing vehicles, and can automatically apply full braking down to a standstill. Active Sideguard Assist 2 monitors the areas alongside the vehicle and can warn of objects approaching from the side. When turning, the system can independently initiate automated braking on the co-driver's side if necessary. In addition, Predictive Powertrain Control uses topographical data and route information to support anticipatory and efficient driving.

Digital Operating Concept

All vehicles are equipped with the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2. A high-resolution 12-inch instrument display and an optimized touchscreen enable intuitive operation of key vehicle functions. In addition, numerous functions can be adjusted using voice control.
