Stuttgart/Berlin – Trucks, buses and services from #daimlertruck AG won first place in eight categories at the 2022 ETM Awards. The award ceremony, which took place "live" in Berlin for the first time yesterday evening after having held virtual events for the last two years, is considered an important indicator in the commercial vehicle industry. 5978 readers of "lastauto omnibus", "trans aktuell", "Fernfahrer" trade journals and the "eurotransport.de” online format from Stuttgart-based ETM publishing house took part in the 26th readers’ choice awards and conferred the prestigious award in the "Best Truck", "Best Van", "Best Bus" and "Best Brands" divisions. The readers’ choice awards have been organised according to a uniform methodology since 1997. Among the candidates this year were 219 commercial vehicles from 16 categories and around 200 brands from the commercial vehicle sector in 29 categories.

At the award ceremony, #joachimschlereth, Head of Sales & Services #mercedesbenztrucks and FUSO Germany, was delighted with the results of the readers’ choice awards: "We are proud that readers are honoring our trucks and services. This motivates us to continue to clearly focus on our customers’ expectations in the future and to forge ahead with the transformation toward e-mobility in close cooperation with our customers."

Mirko Sgodda, Head of Sales, Marketing and Customer Services at #daimlerbuses, was delighted about the outstanding performance of the city bus range in the eyes of the readers: "Thank you to the readers of ETM publishing house's publications. The Mercedes-Benz Citaro is once again number one in its class! The entire #daimlerbuses team is delighted with this award, which is being presented in time for the anniversary of the Citaro: 25 years ago, we introduced the first generation of our best-selling city bus!"

Fully electric drive concept puts eActros in first place among electric trucks

For the third time in the "Electric Truck" category, ETM publishing house readers awarded the top spot at the ETM Awards to the convincing concept of the battery-powered eActros. Last year, #mercedesbenztrucks ushered in a new era with the first electric series-production truck bearing the star. The manufacturer is well known for its local CO2-neutral road haulage.

The batteries of the eActros consist of either three (eActros 300) or four battery packs (eActros 400). With four battery packs, the eActros 400 boasts a range of up to 400 kilometers1. The technological centerpiece is the drive unit – an electric rigid axle with two integrated electric engines and a two-speed transmission. Both liquid-cooled engines generate a continuous output of 330 kW as well as a top performance of 400 kW. In addition, electric energy can be recovered through recuperation when driving with anticipation. The energy gained during braking is fed back into the batteries of the eActros and is then available again for the drive.

Two first places for the Mercedes-Benz Actros with conventional drive

The Mercedes-Benz Actros won the ETM Award in the “Long-distance haulage truck” category. It thus provides proof that the flagship of the #mercedesbenztrucks product range continues to set standards when it comes to requirement profiles in long-haul transpprtation, even after more than a quarter of a century of production. The truck bearing the star is particularly impressive in terms of profitability, safety, reliability and comfort, paired with pioneering innovations, networking offers and many other technical milestones. These include the digital multimedia cockpit, MirrorCam system, GPS-based cruise control.

Powertrain Control and the Active Brake Assist 5 emergency braking system with pedestrian detection. In today’s fifth generation, the Actros can also be optionally equipped with the Active Sideguard Assist turning assistant featuring automated braking function and the second generation Active Drive Assist (ADA 2). Its Emergency Stop Assist sub-function can initiate an emergency stop if the driver does not react in a critical situation despite a warning.

In the "Heavy distribution trucks over 18 tons" category, first place went to the Mercedes-Benz Actros F. Its function-oriented equipment meets the various needs and transport requirements of drivers and fleet operators in the transportation business. Its plus points are the generous space in the cab, the low three-step entry, 17 models to choose from as well as the high payload and flexibility of use. In addition, there is a wide range of optional equipment. This includes the retarder, Active Sideguard Assist and Predictive Powertrain Control.
