Mercedes-Benz Actros with Northside Truck & Van

The Mercedes-Benz Actros (4x2 Tractor Unit) and Actros (6x2 Rigid) have been awarded a 5-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP Commercial Truck Ratings, highlighting Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ commitment to road safety and advanced driver assistance technology.

What are the NCAP Ratings?

The Euro New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Commercial Truck Ratings assess trucks, with all available optional safety equipment fitted, in three areas.

Safe Driving – Assesses in-vehicle tools and status monitors, speed assist systems and safety features.
Crash Avoidance – Scores the vehicle on lane support, collision warnings, auto braking and other avoision technology.
Post-Crash Safety – Determines how safe the vehicle is if a crash is not avoided, such as automatic emergency calling, occupant extrication and in case of electric vehicles, assessing battery fire risks.

Ratings are awarded on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The Actros out-performed many rivals to match the top scores for Safe Driving and Post Crash Safety.

Not only that, all of our Actros variants, including the Actros L ProCabin, received the new Euro NCAP City Safe accreditation, recognising the trucks’ technology and design features that help prevent accidents in urban environments.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ advanced safety systems are at the heart of these achievements, and we always keep safety at the forefront of our developments. Our technological features enhance driver awareness, support safe driving, and help prevent collisions. These featyres include the Active Assist 3, Active Brake Assist 6 Plus, Active Sideguard Assist 2, Front Guard Assist, and Attention Assist 2.

Heiko Selzam, Managing Director of Daimler Truck UK, said: “Our goal is simple: safer roads for everyone. These 5-star Euro NCAP results demonstrate that Mercedes-Benz Trucks offers some of the safest vehicles on the road today, while our City Safe accreditation highlights our ongoing commitment to protecting drivers and other road users in urban environments. The EuroNCAP tests highlight that safety isn’t just about crash performance but also preventing accidents happening, and that’s good news for drivers and fleet managers.”

Northside Truck & Van Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Northside Truck & Van Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd, the lender of our vehicle manufacturer. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer’s lender, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd, linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
