I thought it was a while since we featured anything on the mighty Mercedes Zetros, the 4x4 and 6x6 truck launched at last year's IAA Hanover Show (was it really that long ago?) Anyway I found these pictures of the 6x6 in action. and as if to remind my Biglorryblog faithful the Zetros is based primarily on the standard production four-wheel drive Axor/Actros series (specially modified for off-road use, of course) but with it's own bonneted and normal control layout. I've a feeling that it's powered by Merc's 7-litre 330hp straight-six engine....
According to Merc..."The Zetros is designed to meet the most demanding of missions, whether it be disaster relief or military and peace-keeping operations. It's available in both a three-axle version (Zetros 2733 A 6x6) and a two-axle version (Zetros 1833 A 4x4) depending on your needs, with the first offering a payloads from 7 to 10 tons and the second two-axle model offering payloads of 4 to 6 tons." Now click through here for more...
A bit different from the black metal-flake and blinged-up chrome 4x4 model they showed at the IAA...
And there it goes...eat my dust!
