Daimler Truck Expands Girteka Deal With 900 Actros L Trucks

900 Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin Trucks Ordered

Daimler Truck Girteka is expanding its fleet relationship with an order for 900 Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin trucks. Daimler Truck announced the development on September 24, with deliveries planned for the first half of 2027. The order follows 500 Actros L trucks that were added to Girteka’s fleet in 2026, extending the company’s adoption of the Mercedes-Benz long-haul model. The latest order therefore represents another substantial addition to Girteka’s heavy-truck fleet and continues the partnership through a further vehicle deployment scheduled for the following year.

ProCabin Design Focuses on Aerodynamic Efficiency

The redesigned ProCabin is intended to improve aerodynamic performance during long-distance transport. Its front end is 80 mm longer than the previous design, while the body has also been redesigned to help reduce air resistance. These changes focus on the conditions that matter most for trucks operating over extended highway distances, where aerodynamic efficiency can influence vehicle operation. The ProCabin design is therefore a central element of the new Actros L specification being ordered by Girteka, alongside the vehicle’s updated driver-focused equipment and electronic systems.

Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 Included

Every truck in the new order will receive the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2. The system includes a 12-inch digital display, touchscreen controls, and voice-operated functions, giving drivers several ways to access and operate vehicle information and controls. The cockpit equipment is part of the common specification for the 900 trucks rather than a separate option identified for only part of the order. Its inclusion adds the same digital interface package across the newly ordered vehicles and supports the broader equipment standard being applied to Girteka’s incoming Actros L fleet.

Safety and Predictive Powertrain Systems

Safety and driving-assistance equipment will also be included across the order. The trucks will feature active brake assist, active sideguard assist 2, and predictive powertrain control. Predictive powertrain control uses route and terrain data, allowing the system to account for the road environment when managing the powertrain. Together, these features form part of the technical specification described for the vehicles and address braking support, side-area monitoring, and powertrain operation. The announced equipment therefore combines the redesigned exterior with digital cockpit and driver-assistance technologies.

Deliveries Scheduled for the First Half of 2027

The planned deliveries connect the new order with Girteka’s existing 2026 fleet expansion and establish a further vehicle deployment in the first half of 2027. The 900-truck order also places the ProCabin version at the center of the next phase of the partnership. For long-distance operations, the combination of the revised front-end design, updated cockpit, and specified assistance systems provides a defined package for the incoming trucks. Daimler Truck’s announcement does not provide additional details on delivery timing within the first half of 2027, so the stated schedule remains the available timeframe for the new vehicles.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The development extends a significant heavy-truck fleet relationship into another delivery cycle and places the redesigned ProCabin in a large long-distance operating fleet. For Girteka, the planned 2027 vehicles add capacity while maintaining a common technical package centered on aerodynamic design, digital cockpit equipment, and driver-assistance systems. For Daimler Truck, the order provides another large-scale deployment of its Mercedes-Benz Actros L platform in European long-haul operations. The practical impact will depend on how the vehicles perform in service and how the planned deliveries are implemented during the first half of 2027.
