Eurovia

Infrastructure services leader Eurovia has turned once again to Mercedes-Benz Dealer S & B Commercials for the first of a new breed of safety-focused road finishing vehicles. The company’s latest order was for two 18-tonne Econics and a 26-tonne Antos, as well as a 44-tonne Actros tractor unit.

The Econics feature the low-entry, high-visibility cab which gives this model significant advantages over conventional trucks when it comes to the protection of vulnerable road users.

Greater Safety is one of the three pillars of Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ RoadEfficiency strategy. With its deep, panoramic windscreen, fully-glazed passenger-side door and low seating position, which allows drivers to make direct eye contact with cyclists and pedestrian at junctions and in traffic, the Econic is proving increasingly attractive to operators from an increasing variety of sectors, who work in busy towns and cities.

Eurovia’s new 4x2 Econics and its 6x4 Antos 26-tonner are fitted with specialised bodywork by Mackworth Vehicle Conversion Specialists, a supplier to Eurovia since 2013. Both the Dealer and the bodybuilder are owned by the Imperial UK Group.

All three rigids have walkways which allow operatives to get on and off the vehicle bed without risking injury, safety rails all round, side underrun guards to prevent cyclists and pedestrians being dragged beneath the wheels, and the four-way recordable camera systems by Brigade which Eurovia fits as standard to all of its trucks.
