THREE HOLIDAYS THAT MAKE 2021 A LITTLE SPECIAL
This year the world of transport is celebrating three important anniversaries that make 2021, also marked by the economic crisis due to the pandemic, particularly special and perhaps, and here we all hope, may be the prelude to a restart that would give breath to everyone. companies and families who work there.
Our review of anniversaries begins with a truly important event, namely the 125th anniversary of the "birth" of the first Daimler commercial vehicle. It was 1896 when the German company launched the first truck on the market. A long history of successes and distinctive brands that make the German company´s brand a point of excellence in transport, construction and distribution. The second special occasion is the 130th anniversary of Scania, a large Swedish giant founded in 1891 as a company that manufactured wagons fortrains, but which then specialized in the production of cars in 1901 and in the construction of trucks in 1902. In 2000 Scania made the production of its one millionth vehicle official and today it is a world leader, with around 38,000 employees with a turnover of over 9 billion euros.
Another important anniversary is the 25th birthday of the Mercedes-Benz Actros, one of the most popular commercial vehicles in the world. It was back in September 1996 when the German manufacturer presented the first truck equipped with disc brakes and electronically controlled braking systems at a trade fair. Thanks to these systems, which have further developed and increased over the decades, make the Actros the safest vehicle that meets the needs of every driver.
