Mika Auvinen's Show Actros at the IAA
IAA 2014
The Show Actros belonging to Mika Auvinen thrills IAA visitors. The trucker and his team answer questions from the fans.
No doubt about it: the spectacular Mercedes-Benz trucks on display in hall 14/15 never cease to amaze and astonish visitors to the 2014 IAA Commercial Vehicles trade fair. Yet once they leave the hall, they cannot help but pull out their cameras or mobile phones. For there it is – the Show Actros belonging to Mika Auvinen from Finland.
With his “Highway Hero” the entrepreneur recently won the coveted Nordic Trophy and along with it captured the hearts of truck fans everywhere. The bright green paintwork, square metre after square metre of polished chrome and lifelike airbrushed portraits have turned Auvinen's Actros into a steel work of art that excites and thrills. “Even aboard the ferry on our way to Hannover, we were constantly being approached by people who were amazed and asking us what kind of a truck it is,” says Auvinen.
There has been no let-up in interest shown by visitors to the IAA. After he and his team spent two days polishing the “Highway Hero” to a high gloss on site, Auvinen, the airbrush artist Perttu Papunen and the metal specialist Mika Sassi were on hand every day to answer visitor's questions. Naturally, they are only to pleased to pose for photos alongside their “Highway Hero”.
