The new Mercedes-Benz Actros at Record Run 2011: Latest technical data and photos

As you may already know from a previous post, the new Mercedes-Benz Actros is participating at the Record Run 2011, a complete 7-day journey on a total distance of 10,000 km between Rotterdam (NL) - Sczeczin (PL) - Rotterdam (NL) whose aim is to discover the efficiency potential of a heavy-duty vehicle. The new generation of this multi-awarded truck is competing as Record Chaser against the Record Holder: the Actros 1844 Euro V "Nardo" (MP 3), a champion of fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. There are not one, but two models attempting to beat the current record: the Actros 1844 LS Euro V and the Actros 1844 LS Euro VI. The trip started back on 26th June and will come to an end today, 2nd July, when the fleet composed of the three trucks is scheduled to return to the Dutch harbour city, where it all started one week ago. At the moment, the teams are crossing Germany nearing Hannover.
