Driving Forward with New Fleet Additions
We are pleased to announce the arrival of four new Mercedes-Benz Actros L 2548 trucks, delivered in March 2026, as part of our ongoing investment in a modern and high-performing fleet.
These latest additions build on our continued commitment to Mercedes-Benz vehicles in recent years, following the introduction of three Actros 2546 trucks in 2023 and six Actros L 2548 trucks in 2024. The new trucks further strengthen a well-balanced fleet that operates across three leading manufacturers, alongside Scania and MAN.
This investment reflects our ongoing focus on efficiency, driver comfort, and safety across its operations. The Actros range is renowned for its advanced technology, fuel efficiency, and driver-focused design, aligning closely with the our operational standards. We also maintain a robust fleet rotation policy, ensuring no articulated vehicle remains in service for more than five years. The new vehicles will be deployed on general haulage duties across the UK.
Lindy Crawford, Transport Manager at Browns Distribution, commented:
We’ve had consistently positive feedback from both our drivers and operational teams on the Mercedes-Benz trucks. Their reliability, comfort, and the quality of telematics data they provide make a real difference to our day-to-day operations. We’re always looking to invest in the very best equipment to support our teams and deliver the highest levels of service for our customers.
The new Actros units are finished in a special 70th anniversary livery, marking the conclusion of our milestone celebrations last year and reflecting both our heritage and our continued commitment to the future.
