Mercedes Benz expects to register 25,000 trucks in Spain in 2017

Mercedes Benz sources point out that the year that is about to begin will bring an increase in sales of rigid distribution vehicles that is even greater than that of tractors. However, the objective of the multinational is that the units for large and medium-sized fleets go from being 85% to 80% of total sales so that small and autonomous trucks grow from the 15% that they currently have in market share to 20%. 

The fact that the fleet of trucks in Spain is one of the oldest in Europe, with an average fleet age of almost 10 years, and the need to reduce CO2 emissions, make the company optimistic and foresees the beginning of a general renewal of vehicles. 

According to Mercedes Benz, the fuel for trucks during 2017 will continue to be mainly diesel because Gas engines are currently more expensive than diesel engines both for the sale price of the trucks and for their maintenance.  However, the German company recalls that the capacity of electric trucks has doubled and their cost has been halved. According to company sources, everything points to the fact that in the future 100% electric trucks will find a place in distribution and urban logistics, but their use will hardly be generalized for large routes, because their autonomy does not exceed 200 kilometers.
