The truck that fell into the cauldron as a baby
Panorama
“Obelix” is written in large letters on the side of the driver's cab of Kristian Rytter's Mercedes-Benz Actros 4163 SLT 8x4/10x4. SLT stands for Schwerlasttransporter, or Heavy Goods Vehicle, and the truck is pretty massive.
Obelix, Asterix's friend, is, as we know, virtually unbeatable because he fell into the cauldron of magic potion when he was small; and you have the feeling that something similar happened to this Actros. It sports a 630 hp engine, 16-gear automatic transmission, a Turbo Retarder Clutch and a heavy-duty clutch in the front, five axles; and it is licensed for a towing weight of 18 tonnes! So it's hard to imagine any task, however heavy, that could possibly daunt it.
