• TRANSTIRA continues to expand its international long‑haul fleet exclusively with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks.
• Key factors behind the order: efficiency, predictable total cost of ownership, digital services, and driver comfort.
• The vehicles will support TRANSTIRA in expanding capacity and modernizing its fleet for European long‑haul operations.

Leinfelden‑Echterdingen / Vilnius (Lithuania) – Mercedes‑Benz Trucks has secured a major order from Lithuanian logistics and transport company TRANSTIRA. The manufacturer will deliver more than 500 Actros L ProCabin trucks to the customer, headquartered in Vilnius, during 2026. With this order, TRANSTIRA is expanding its capacity in European long‑haul transport while continuing the modernization of its fleet.

“A decisive factor in the customer’s decision is predictable fuel consumption, as well as the vehicles’ total operating costs. At the same time, driver comfort, satisfaction, and working conditions are gaining increasing importance,” says Paulius Kraučiūnas, Sales Manager of the Truck Division at Veho—the Lithuanian subsidiary of the Finnish Veho Group responsible for the sales and service of Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “The Actros L ProCabin combines efficiency with modern ergonomics and a high level of comfort. This comprehensive package was the deciding factor. TRANSTIRA consistently relies on modern and efficient transport solutions for international road freight transport. We are delighted that the company has once again chosen Mercedes-Benz Trucks to expand its fleet.”

Efficiency through aerodynamics and powertrain technology

Mercedes‑Benz Trucks designed the Actros L ProCabin with a strong focus on aerodynamics and efficiency. A front end extended by 80 millimeters, optimized airflow management, and reduced panel gaps improve the airflow around the vehicle. This can reduce fuel consumption in long‑haul operations by up to three percent.

Additional efficiency gains are delivered by the third generation of the OM 471 diesel engine. The powertrain supports fuel‑efficient driving and can help reduce operating costs while further optimizing total cost of ownership.

Focus on the driver’s workplace and digital services

When selecting vehicles, TRANSTIRA also places a strong emphasis on driver comfort. Among other features, the ProCabin offers new seats, optimized beds with mattresses, additional USB‑C ports, and an enhanced operating concept. For vehicle operations, TRANSTIRA uses digital services such as My TruckPoint and Fleetboard Uptime. These applications support the monitoring of vehicle data, maintenance planning, and the reduction of potential downtime.

Assistance and safety systems for long‑haul transport.

The vehicles are equipped with the latest assistance and safety systems, including Active Brake Assist 6 Plus and Active Sideguard Assist 2. Predictive Powertrain Control additionally supports anticipatory and efficient driving on long‑distance routes.
