The Mercedes-Benz Actros, described as the “most commonly sold truck in the region with decades of experience”, is available at Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles.
“Proven robustness and flexibility makes the Actros an all-round solution. Thanks to its sturdiness, proven components, even in the harshest conditions the Actros becomes easy to handle, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride for driver and goods alike,” according to a press statement from NBK Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar. 
“Nasser Bin Khaled Automobiles is pleased to provide the Qatari market with the Mercedes-Benz Actros, the best and most reliable truck in its category,” the statement noted. “With more than 760,000 vehicles sold worldwide, the Actros is also the most frequently sold truck in the region.”
From the “New Generation” to the “Heavy-Duty Class” and the third-generation Actros, Mercedes-Benz has been a “pioneer of progress in truck technology for over 50 years”. 
Technical adjustments made exclusively for the region’s challenging topography and climate make the Actros the “ideal partner” for every transportation need. The Actros can “reliably handle” extreme loads in heavy-duty transportation, while the V6 and V8 engines are equipped with enhanced engine cooling power and the extremely strong suspension assures rigidity – on or off the road.
Since its launch, the Actros has received several awards such as “Truck of the Year”– thanks to its design and specifications. Features like Telligent Lane Assist, a larger and more comfortable bed with adjustable head section, and the innovative PowerShift gearbox all add up to a truck that is “safer, more economical, comfortable and easier to drive than ever before”.
The all-steel cab is “very strong and structurally rigid”, while only flame-retardant materials are used in the interior. Also, efficient safety systems provide optimal protection for the driver, vehicle and load.
The high-capacity and efficient air-conditioning (A/C) “perfectly suits” the high temperatures in the Middle East. It is specially modified with an air-purifying system to ensure a high-level air quality, even in dusty areas. 
The Actros V6 engines with a displacement of 11.9 litres are available in performance categories from 230kW (313hp) to 320kW (435hp). These six-cylinder engines with electronic control have been on the market for many years and are used predominantly for short-radius transport tasks (construction sites, deliveries, waste disposal). However, the 394hp version is also used for long-distance traffic.
The V8 engines are “perfect” for demanding long-distance transport tasks and for heavy construction assignments, in conjunction with the three-axle tipping semitrailer for heavy-duty use. They have an output ranging from 350kW (476hp) to 425kW (578hp) and a displacement of 15.9 litres. 
Meanwhile, Telligent systems support the driver by promoting better interaction between the components. The systems make sure that the engine, brakes and chassis all interact smoothly.
