S 2000 military, hot from Mercedes-Benz
Article Abstract:
Mercedes Benz has developed the S 2000 series. The truck is designed to meet a common demand for a vehicle in the mid-range with good off-road capabilities and follows an established trend of utilizing as many existing components as possible to keep both running and acquisition costs to a minimum. It has a conventional cabin instead of a forward cabin which its predecessor featured. One of the reasons for this choice is greater facilitation of access to the engine compartment through a one-piece bonnet-cum-wings.
