RoadStars behind the scenes: the making of the premiere film for the new Actros

Panorama

And action!

The filming for the launch of the new Actros took us to Croatia. An impressive film about the new Mercedes‑Benz Trucks flagship came about against the backdrop of spectacular scenery. RoadStars presents you with an exclusive look behind the scenes.


No easy task for the Mercedes‑Benz Trucks film team: they only had seven days’ time to get enough footage of the new Actros along Croatia’s breathtaking Adriatic coast.

The 84-person crew gave their all at 14 different filming locations. The film equipment necessary for the footage was extremely impressive: eight tonnes of equipment, five cameras and two drones were on hand, and of course the main actors – three brand-new Actros tractor units.



Behind the scenes, the suspense before the premiere of the new Actros was of course huge: we will show you exclusively here on RoadStars how all challenges that we faced during filming in Croatia were overcome in the end. You can see the final film with TruckTrainer Michael Pinhart behind the wheel here.
