    A nice video made in cooperation with Jung von Matt, the leading ad agency of Daimler, shows the Actros as a taxi to show its harshest critics what are its benefits. It passed by Volvo and MAN and picked up passengers from their offices. The result was impressive, not surprisingly, because the “employees” of the competitors seem to like what they saw inside the Mercedes truck. People at the Munich airport were also fascinated by the “taxi truck”, who wouldn’t be?

    Fleet management just became handier, literally, with Daimler’s release of the FleetBoard telematics system.  With such a system, operators can monitor how their vehicles are being used, how many hours the drivers have been at the wheel, their buses’ fuel consumption and the drivers’ driving habits, which affect fuel consumption. It’s even possible to show the status of doors and loading ramps.  This app, currently available for free, has been written for use with the iPhone or iPad devices. Needless to say, the operator must have the FleetBoard system installed on their buses,…

  • U500 Unimog Shows Versatility As A Snowplow

    25 Jan 2012 | 8:46 pm
    Business and municipal operators keep on finding new uses for Mercedes’s evergreen Unimog, and this time it’s for use as an all-year round snowplow and emergency operations vehicle. This particular Unimog was ordered by Felsenau authorities with the optional 4-wheel steering system. With 4?wheel steering, the Unimog becomes considerably more manoeuvrable with its turning circle reduced by 30 percent. This capability became particularly useful when a recent snowstorm laid on 10 meters of snow on the mountain roads of Vorarlberg in Austria. Before the availability of 4-wheel steering, there…

  • Mighty V12 G-Class Closer To Showrooms

    23 Jan 2012 | 11:44 pm
      Grime-laden and ghetto-looking with its duct-taped bumper, this prototype G-Class was caught on candid camera in a recent test session. But this isn’t just any old G-Class you’re looking at, because it’s a test mule for the upcoming G65 AMG that’s being shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March. For now, the only noticeable aesthetic changes are the bumper openings, which will have intakes for two additional heat exchangers. They will definitely be needed because under the hood will be Mercedes’ 6-liter V12, which will be producing 612 horsepower after a massage by AMG. If the…

    28 Jan 2012 | 5:01 am
    I had been wanting to make use of the city lights since I put the Euros in a month or so ago, but I didn't want to just wire them into the parking lamps. That would be too easy! And since I already had a Bosch relay sitting around from earlier projects in my 4WD, I decided I'd wire up some LED wedge bulbs as Daytime Running Lights. It's not ideal, but I found this idea via a google search and another forum to hook up my relay trigger wire to the strip fuse on the driver's fender. I may change that later, but I don't see why it would actually be a problem. The trigger wire isn't drawing enough…

  • poly-V tensioning device damper making a ticking sound? (video)

    28 Jan 2012 | 4:10 am
    Hello all. Was fiddling with the engine today and noticed a part on the front of the engine making a rattling sound. I doubt that's healthy so I took this short video. I've identified it tentatively as the belt tensioning damper. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The sound on the video was awful so I edited it out. You can clearly see the part I'm talking about rattling from 14s. It looks like the top end of a damper with a bolt through it into the engine block. odd engine noise coming from my 104.962, car's a W124 E280 on Vimeo Thanks in advance for any input
