Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Wörth am Rhein – The star among distribution haulage trucks is celebrating its 25th anniversary. In 1998, Daimler-Benz AG, as it was known at the time, presented the Mercedes-Benz Atego at the RAI International Commercial Vehicle Show in Amsterdam. After a total of 14 years, the Atego replaced the LK ("Leichte Klasse"; light class) model series. Its developers had one key objective in mind for the new generation: The configuration options of the new distribution haulage vehicle had to reflect the diversity of applications in the light to medium-duty truck segment. At that time, the broad spectrum ranged from professional freight forwarding vehicles with tarpaulin or box bodies to platform and tipper vehicles for the construction and construction-related sectors as well as models with special equipment for municipal services, right down to its use as a platform for a host of bodies for special-purpose vehicles.
