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 is manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth, Germany.[1] The truck is designed to be compatible with the Hercules C-130 transport and also fits into a standard German railway carriage.[2] In 2019 Mercedes-Benz presented a facelift of the Zetros with a more powerful engine and a bigger number of variants.[3]
The Zetros is available with an engine power of 360 hp (265 kW) up to 510 hp (375 kW)[3] 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.[5] German company Harald Bruhn also introduced a Zetros-based agricultural trailer truck as the Secutor.[6]
The facelifted Zetros has now one type of engine in all variants.[3]
