2020 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Calendar “Great Landscapes”: the February motif

2020 Calendar “Great Landscapes”

Cerro Torre, Chile: Actros 2645 S.

The Actros in wild Patagonia.


The Cerro Torre (3128 metres) like the FitzRoy (3406 metres) is one of the main attractions in the Andes of Chile and Argentina. Mountaineers rave about the beauty of the summit – and fear the ascent. Extreme weather conditions and the majestic steep granite rock walls are almost insurmountable challenges. The first successful ascent was in 1974. 38 more years passed before a team reached the summit as free climbers: technical aids were only to prevent the risk of falling from the rock. To this day, the circle of successful climbers is extremely small and exclusive.

The next town on the Argentinian side is El Chaltén. Tourism has given the town a booming economy despite its remote location. It's a good thing that the Actros brings in fresh supplies.

Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Calendar 2020 – “Great Landscapes”.

Magnificent vistas of nature. Powerful lorries. On the road in the truck, with the windshield doubling as the silver screen. Unique landscapes are the side scenes, whether along country roads, motorways or somewhere else – far, far away. The main actor is the truck. It does its job with distinction. Its performance keeps everything running; it connects our lives. From Finland to Chile, from Portugal to Australia. Hence, the motto of the Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Calendar 2020 is “Great Landscapes”.

You can see all the motifs to date at a glance on our overview page.
