Daimler Trucks at Expo Transporte 2017

Nov. 16, 2017
Daimler not only unveiled two new trucks for the Mexican market at what is billed as Latin America's largest trucking show, but showed off a bevy of buses and other vehicles as well.

At Expo Transporte 2017 in Guadalajara, Mexico, Daimler Trucks unveiled two new additions to its Freightliner-branded “360 Family” of cabover commercial vehicles sold in this market. The new Class 6 model 1217 – with a maximum payload of eight tons – and the new Class 8 model 2528 – sporting a maximum payload of 17 tons – now join the company’s Class 4 model 715, which was launched here back in 2008. But the OEM also brought a wide range of other vehicles to the show as well, including the Freightliner Cascadia tractors, Sprinter vans, and passenger bus models, among others.
