At the Frankfurt International Motor Show, the New Generation range of commercial vehicles is rounded off by the addition of new medium-duty trucks with 10, 12 and 14-tonne gross vehicle weight. This completes the upgrading process for the truck range upwards of ten tonnes, which began in autumn 1973. The 2032 S (6x2/4) semitrailer tractor presented in Frankfurt with two steered front axles and a planetary rear drive axle continues the tradition of the renowned LPS 333 from the 1950s. Also at the Frankfurt show, Daimler-Benz unveils the first test vehicle with hydrogen-powered drive system and hydride storage tank – based on the L 307 minibus model – to the automotive press.
