This year alone, Hertz has added a total of 542 Mercedes-Benz Atego trucks to its fleet. The vehicle rental company has now increased its fleet to more than 1,200 Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the more than 7.5-ton segment.

The 542 Mercedes-Benz Atego vehicles for Hertz Car Hire are 7.5- and 15‑ton vehicles with special box bodies or soft-side bodies designed by the companies Saxas and Junge. This is also the first time that a new vehicle segment was added to their fleet in the form of the 15‑ton Atego.

Hertz Car Hire has opted for finance leasing via the Mercedes-Benz Bank.

The Atego trucks delivered to the company are all covered by the Mercedes‑Benz Service Complete contract. The Service Complete contract offers a comprehensive additional level of planning security for vehicles and covers all workshop activities ranging from the co-ordination of appointments to invoice auditing at a fixed monthly charge. 

The Atego is the market leader in the light-duty, short-radius distribution truck segment offers Hertz what really counts in the truck rental industry: economy and high reliability.
