2019 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Calendar “Elements”: the February motif

2019 Calendar “Elements”

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: Arocs 4042 K.

Earth element: transport through a moon landscape – across the largest salt lake in the world.


The largest salt lake in the world is in the high plateau of Bolivia. The Salar de Uyuni stretches for more than 10,000 square kilometres. It was created when Lake Tauca dried out over the course of thousands of years. An estimated ten billion tonnes of salt lie above the ground here. Roughly 25,000 tonnes of this are mined and taken away every year. Trucks like the Arocs tipper are needed for this. The truck combines robustness, efficiency and reliability and conquers any type of terrain – even on the largest salt lake in the world.

Fire, water, earth, air – our trucks prove themselves in all manner of places where the elements are at play, places where their power can unfold and be harnessed. That is why “Elements” is a perfect motto for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Calendar. Here at RoadStars we will show you the current calendar motif at the beginning of each month. Look forward to unique black-and-white photos with exciting scenes!
