FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is MirrorCam and does it affect insurance?

MirrorCam replaces conventional wing mirrors with cameras that display on screens inside the cab. It improves aerodynamics (fuel saving ~1%) and can improve visibility in certain conditions. Some insurers treat it as a standard feature; check with your fleet insurer.

Can I finance a Mercedes eActros?

Yes. The eActros requires specialist EV finance. Finance lease typically suits electric trucks well, as it limits your residual value risk during a period of rapid battery technology development. Contact us to discuss options.

Is Daimler Truck Financial Services competitive?

Daimler Truck FS is worth considering, particularly on new Actros from Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers. We always compare their quote against our independent panel before making a recommendation.

What is the difference between MP4 and MP5 Actros?

The MP4 (2011–2018) is an excellent truck with a proven drivetrain and is widely available used at competitive prices. The MP5 (2018+) adds MirrorCam and Active Drive Assist. We finance both.
