The limited edition Mercedes-Benz Actros Edition II, was honoured with the Irish Flagship Truck of the Year award at the recent Fleet Transport Awards 2022.

First introduced in 1996, the Mercedes-Benz Actros this year celebrates 25 years in operations – a quarter century in which it has established itself as the premium truck for long-distance heavy-duty distribution.

Adding to its success story, the new Actros was honoured with the prestigious International Truck of the Year award as voted by a jury of 24 commercial vehicle editors. With a total of nine victories, Mercedes-Benz is now the most successful brand in the fight for the Truck of the Year accolade.  

2019 is the year that Goggins Transport, one of Ireland’s leading haulage companies, celebrates 40 years in business. Appropriately, the Dublin, Galway & Liverpool based firm has chosen to mark the occasion by adding six new Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks to its extensive fleet of commercial vehicles and trailers – one of which will carry the registration plate 191-G-1979, in celebration of the year the business was established.

Mercedes-Benz had reason to celebrate at the prestigious 2019 Fleet Transport Awards. Their commercial vehicles division in Ireland joined the winners enclosure as the Atego was honoured with the Irish Truck of the Year award in the medium distribution category.
