The model series.

When it comes to new generation vehicles, we love casting our minds back to 1973, when the series was first launched – experts were thrilled at the time. A driving report from the time: “what the Mercedes engineers have come up with in creating the new generation is worthy of recognition.  This is true of the overall concept and the way it has been integrated into a modular system [...] as well as to the truck's many details that are absolutely essential for drivers.”
