Girteka, a major European transport company, has finalized an agreement with Mercedes-Benz Trucks for the purchase of 900 Actros L ProCabin heavy-duty trucks. This substantial order is slated for delivery during the first six months of 2027. The announcement was made by Edvardas Liachovičius, CEO of Girteka Group, via LinkedIn, with the deal reportedly concluded at the IAA Transportation event in Hannover.
This latest acquisition builds on a previous order of 500 new trucks earlier in the year, underscoring Girteka's strategy to continuously modernize and expand its fleet. The investment in new vehicles aims to enhance operational efficiency, meet growing demand, and potentially improve fuel economy and driver comfort.
For freight forwarders and logistics operations managers, this signifies a continued commitment by major road carriers to invest in capacity. While the delivery is not immediate, the addition of 900 modern trucks to Girteka's fleet in 2027 suggests a long-term view on road freight demand. This could contribute to stable or improved capacity availability on European road networks, potentially mitigating future rate volatility for shippers relying on Girteka's services.
