Check out the hottest Mercedes-Benz trucks from Truckfest Peterborough 2018.

Truckfest

Watch the highlights from one of the UK’s largest trucking events.

The weather was hot, and so were the trucks. See the highlights from the May Bank holiday weekend, including the winning drivers and their trucks on the Mercedes-Benz stand.


Thousands of truckers and enthusiasts headed to the East of England Showground to once again enjoy one of the biggest trucking events in Europe.

Amongst them were a group of Mercedes-Benz truck drivers and their trucks. These drivers had entered and won our RoadStars competition to appear with their truck as VIPs on our stand.

Amongst the 10 winners were Tony Mitchell, David Henning and Tom Barbour.


Tony, whose ‘Frozen’ truck was very popular with the children at Truckfest, thoroughly enjoyed the event. He said after the event, “I just want to say thanks to you and everyone at Mercedes-Benz for a fantastic weekend. It was a privilege to take part in the event on your stand.”

“Thanks Mercedes-Benz Trucks for an absolutely awesome weekend,” said David Henning, who brought his two year old 630 GigaSpace to the event. “From start to finish it was fantastic. Even the weather provided was spectacular! I met some great people both on the stand and of it. I appreciate the effort put into the whole thing by Mercedes and it was greatly appreciated.”


The number 1 Actros1 vehicle also made its first public appearance, along with its driver Allan Holt from Pollocks Scotrans Haulage company. This truck not only made a great impression on the Truckfest crowds, but won second place in the Best Kept New Truck category.

They and others enjoyed a range of activities in the sunshine across the weekend, including the Action Sport Tour bike stunt team and lots of family activities in our marquee.

Tom Barbour of Donnell and Ellis Heavy Haulage Ltd said of the event, “What a weekend, a big thanks to you all, thoroughly enjoyed every part and couldn’t have been made more welcome.

“We’ve made some fantastic new friends, so all thanks to Mercedes-Benz and Roadstars for the opportunity to place my truck on your stand. Roll on next year!”
