subject: Mercedes Lorry [print this page] If you walk or drive into any small UK town or village you will be used to the sight of tradesmen delivering to shops. Whether it be bread, milk, groceries, fruit, or fish they will be there manoeuvring around you, and each other, in order to make their deliveries. They will be reversing down narrow streets, driving on to the pavement, and vying with each other for space. Mercedes-Benz UK has come up with their answer to the problem with their Atego range.
Specially designed to cope with the problems faced by local distribution, the Atego is a leader in its class especially in the field of economic efficiency. Compact dimensions and good handling make the Atego a very impressive solution. It is the truck that can eliminate the problems of manoeuvring. Economy wise the Atego offers low fuel consumption and high reliability. There is a choice of 4 or 6 cylinder in-line engines, and it has the Telligent engine management system, which all means excellent fuel economy.
The Telligent system is reliable, economically sound and safety conscious when it comes to the load and especially the driver allowing the Telligent systems to communicate, which, in turn, means these parts all work great together forming a bond that is efficient as any machine. Some of the competitor series offer a cab type but this one offers 4. The two S, which is a day type cab, is great for those runs in the city. For those longer trips when sleeping overnight is called for, the two L Sleeper is more appropriate.
In general the Atego is the ideal truck or the delivery man, and gives its rivals a good run for their money, making this truck an overall favourite by truck drivers all over the UK.
