In efforts to make Mercedes’ commercial vehicles more appealing, Mercedes Benz has officially announced that their Atego, Axor and Actros lineup of vehicles will be equipped with special truck GPS. Unfortunately for Americans, the embedded GPS will carry 26 European countries, so this new feature will not be much use outside of Europe.
Among the 26 countries, the GPS has a setting that contains 15 different European languages for enhanced turn-by-turn directions, a nifty feature that is sure to please any European. In addition, it comes with some cool features such as weight restrictions, height restrictions and speed limits on certain highways. If you have ever drove a truck before, you know that sometimes the truck is to big to clear an overpass, so it is best to plan an alternate route before hitting the road. With this GPS, you just have to enter in information about your truck, and where you want to go; then the GPS figures out the best possible route taking in all necessary factors.
Everyone knows being stuck in traffic sucks and a driver wants to deliver your load in the fastest time possible. This GPS contains a special feature called TMC which uses real time traffic updates to navigate around traffic jams and find the quickest route.
These trucks with specially equipped GPS are available from direct factory order. No word on how much the GPS actually costs, but I imagine it to be around 150 Euros extra.
