Mercedes-Benz conventional-type trucks – Missions accomplished worldwide for more than 50 years.Since building the world’s fi rst truck more than 100 years ago, Mercedes-Benz has repeatedly set the standards in truck engineering. Today, the company is the world’s largest truck manufacturer. And continues to fl y the fl ag with the most modern conventional-type all-wheel-drive truck of today. Mercedes-Benz began producing light and medium-weight conventional-type trucks in 1959. A design so successful that vehicles were exported to many countries around the world. The new Zetros extends the legend of conventional-type trucks and Unimogs from Mercedes-Benz.

Time for the next generation. The former conven-tional-type trucks which are still successfully and globally in action are famed for their extraordinary robustness – no matter whether heat, dust or rough roads, excess load, or constant use under the most diffi cult of conditions. And a worthy successor is fi nally in sight. The new Mercedes-Benz has been produced step-by-step in almost eight years of de-velopment work and extensively testing: The Zetros. The only conventional-type all-wheel-drive truck ready to master all modern demands. Meeting the uncompromising quality standards that Mercedes-Benz customers expect. Worldwide.


Zetros. New generation all-wheel-drive conventional-type truck.


Modern look – trusted quality.

The all-wheel-drive conventional-type truck to master all missions. Demands on crew and vehicle have risen continuously over recent years. The new Zetros from Mercedes-Benz follows the path of conventional-type ve-hicles that enjoyed legendary status worldwide. It off ers all that is needed to meet today’s extreme operational con-ditions. Its traditionally low design height makes it ideal for rail or air transport. And it gives the crew an unparal-leled feeling of safety, whatever the situation may be.

Supremacy in off -road terrain. The conventional design reduces the crew’s workload and delivers a virtually ideal weight distribution, plus payload reserves on the front axle. Compared with cab-over-engine designs, the standard production, all-wheel chassis and drive train, with cab behind engine, combines a much smoother ride with extra-ordinary off -road capability, even in extreme terrain.

With all the advantages of full-line design. The new Zetros follows the full-line design concept developed for the Mercedes-Benz family of special-purpose vehicles. Whether 0.5 or 100.0 tonnes – parts, engines and control element layouts for all payload categories come from our standard production line. Our customers profi t from the technically-mature production line engineering that Mercedes-Benz off ers. And benefi t from high quality stan-dards and access to our fully-integrated, reli able service network worldwide.

Where safe roads are few and far between – on disaster relief assignments or military operations such as peace-keeping missions – the Zetros is sure to have the answer.

Intuitive handling and operation. Full-line design commonalities: Car-like, standard production control ele-ments help drivers master the Zetros quickly and confi dently. Its comforta-ble drive and excellent handling make long assignments possible, without tiredness or loss of coancentration. Thanks to the outstandingly spacious cap. So drivers can fully exploit all the technical features that the Zetros has to off er.

Won’t let you down in an emergency. Like all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the Zetros profi ts from a strong service network, easy-to-repair technology, and prompt spare-part availability in every corner of the world. And minor maintenance work? No problem. The forward-tilting hood gives quick access to engine and auxiliaries, without the crew having to leave the cab.

Ready to meet every contingency. On operations in crisis areas, being able to rely on the vehicle whatever the situation is key. The answer: the new Zetros. The balanced axle load distribution guarantees safe handling regardless of load condition. The spacious 3-man cab can be upgraded with state-of-the-art ballistic and mine protection. Enhancing crew safety, without losing the outstanding off -road driving characteristics.

Transportable in every respect. The new Zetros from Mercedes-Benz is not only extremely mobile and de-signed for high payloads, but is also fully compatible with Hercules C 130 transport or GIC International Load-ing Gauge parameters. A result of the vehicle’s low height, which also facilitates quick and safe boarding for the crew.
