Mercedes-Benz Zetros


The Mercedes-Benz Zetros is an off-road truck for extreme operations. It was first presented at the 2008 Eurosatory defence industry trade show in Paris. The Zetros was initially only produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth, Germany. The Canadian Army ordered the Zetros, the chassis is made in Wörth, but armoured cabins and the custom modules will be added to the chassis by Marshall Canada, Manac, Soframe, and General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada in Canada. Daimler is proposing a collaboration to produce it in France with Arquus for the French Army.
The truck is designed to be compatible with the C-130 Hercules transport and also fits into a standard German railway carriage. In 2019, Mercedes-Benz presented a facelift of the Zetros; it features a more powerful engine and a bigger number of variants.

Variants

The Zetros is available with an engine power of 360 hp up to 510 hp in all-wheel drive and non all-wheel drive versions:
Although normally used as a truck, the Zetros has also been put to work as an off-road tractor unit in the middle east. German company Harald Bruhn also introduced a Zetros-based agricultural trailer truck as the Secutor.

Technical characteristics

The facelifted Zetros has now one type of engine in all variants.
