What a week at Zwartkops Raceway. Celebrating 130 years of tradition, innovation, and trucking excellence.

Over the past week, we had the privilege of hosting customers, dealer partners, industry stakeholders, and colleagues for an immersive showcase of our products โ€” from vintage vehicles to our latest innovations, going full throttle at the track from day one.

We also had the opportunity to introduce the new Mercedes-Benz Base and Line Haul models โ€” a significant addition to the Actros portfolio, designed to meet evolving customer needs.

Beyond the product showcase, it was the shared passion, meaningful conversations, and connections that made the experience truly memorable โ€” reflecting our ongoing commitment to progress, performance, and partnership.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in marking this milestone and continuously shaping the future of transportation with us.
