New stobart actros

Seen the new Mercedes actros in stobart wrap …low ride 4 legger so I’d imagine it’s for th f1 …must say it look the dog rollox wonder if willy will let me swap my crappy fh for one lol…

They have 6 of them so far apparently.

Saw 5 the other week running up the m6

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express

This one was wrapped …I do think that new actros has got to be be the best looking truck out there …think the new fh has got to go some to beat it look wise

Personally I think with the exception of the Axor the new Actros is the ugliest truck in a very, very long time - it reminds me of something from a Thomas the Tank Engine.

Agreed. Seen a few around Europe and no livery I’ve seen helps it either. It looks like it’s had a stroke :open_mouth:

I’ve seen loads and everytime they make me stare. I think they look incredible. I’d murder a prostitute to get my hands on one.

I think all the pictures I’ve seen they look absolutely great but when I’ve seen one or two on the road the front end looks like a bit of a childs toy, all plasticky and cheap.

They look aggressive and sleek. The best looking off the forecourt truck on the market. Although not sure if it will suit the stobart colors

Seems like truckers Marmite then.

I saw these in sittingbourne yesterday.

+1

ive seen a few running up m6 by Stafford about 5 or 6 at a time

I think they look great when there all painted properly like the stobarts above, but theres a lot of plastic on them saw this, this morning in felixstowe which i can imagine most fleets will look like, an to me its completely ruined the look to much plastic. :neutral_face:

It’s one thing that really lets most fleet motors down in my opinion.

You are spending £60k - £90k on a motor and they give you a face full of plastic? the boss gets no more discount for it, it’s just profit going in the manufacturers pocket when they can charge you the extra £6k for getting rid of the horrible tacky stuff.

Thing is though I imagine a lot of big fleets prefer the grey plastic bumpers simply because they don’t show up marks and scratches so badly

The look awesome, inside they are great too. Note how Stobart only really pays the money for a better truck when it really matters, note how he wont let the motorsport teams turn up with a poor Scania. Says it all !

Inside the new gigaspace looks great and I like the look of it. I think every so often a new truck is launched and it moves the goalposts.
IMO this is the biggest step forward in truck design since the Renault magnum.

I’ve only watched one episode but I seem to remember all the rally trucks are Scanias. Not to mention his horse boxes…
