Speaking as someone who has never watched the 'X factor' in his life this is probably lost on me---or it would be if it wasn't for these rather nice truck photos. Anyroadup thanks to some PR blurb from Mercedes Biglorryblog can confidently declare that: "The fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz Axor has been given an added dash of 'X appeal', making it more comfortable and cost-effective than ever." How so I hear you gasp? Well it seems that a fleet of new Generation 'Axor X' demonstration units have been delivered to dealers nationwide and are now available for operators to test.  And speaking of 'Generation X' for a pie, who was the lead singer (You needn't enter this one Vic!)

In addition to being the tractor of choice for many of the biggest names in the business the "Axor X" builds on these qualities by incorporating a shed-load of other features aimed not only at those who take the wheel but also at those who pay the bills. For example, drivers get a multi-adjustable air-sprung seat, a Bluetooth-enabled stereo and CD storage box, and a dash finished in high-quality brushed steel-effect trim, as well as an electric sunroof with tinted glass. Oooohhhhhh!!!!!!

And for the inner-accountant insider all of us Axor X artics also come with Merc's PowerShift 12-speed auto as standard which allows you to concentrate fully on the road ahead instead of worrying about which gear they're in. Now read through here for more news on Generation 'X'....

As if that wasn't enough special air deflectors - plus side skirts on 4x2 models - help to reduce fuel consumption, as does the frugal BlueTec Euro 5 engines fitted as standard. These 12-litre lumps also attract Reduced Pollution Certificates that bring road tax savings worth up to £500 a year on vehicles registered before October 2009. Meanwhile, by including a repair and maintenance contract Mercedes-Benz has ensured Axor X owners will pay nothing (up to 160,000km per year) for routine servicing, the MoT test fee and Ministry inspections, together with additional mechanical repairs, everyday wear and tear items and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance, for two years.

Mercedes-Benz Truck Sales & Marketing Director Sam Whittaker tells Biglorryblog: "Axor X appeals to the head as well as the heart, and adds up to a great deal for drivers and operators alike." And if you fancy a go in one call your local M-B dealer OK?

That'd be Billy Idol then...

The Generation X singer was William Broad a.k.a Billy Idol, but I reckon you're showing your age there, Brian. The media now use the term "Generation X" to describe the post "Baby Boomer, slacker generation" now or something, don't they?

That would be Billy Idol then.
