Iraq’s SCAI will use the Actros trucks in reconstruction efforts
Mercedes has completed the delivery of 250 Actros trucks to Iraq’s State Company for Automotive Industry (SCAI) which will be used in reconstruction efforts in the country.
The trucks were manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth and delivered as completed vehicles to Iraq, however the SCAI revealed it has equipped the trucks onsite with equipment for various construction applications.
SCAI’s order included 100 Actros 3331K dump truck chassis and 150 Actros 3340S tractors for carrying water and fuel tanks or similar semitrailers. All of the vehicles are equipped with Euro II V6 engines and a heavy-duty 16-speed transmission.
“We’re very pleased to help with the reconstruction of Iraq by supplying 250 Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks to SCAI,” said Hubertus Troska, Head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “Our vehicles are perfect for use in rough terrain, where they clearly demonstrate their quality and reliability.”
