(BRIEF) Celebrating four decades since their overseas debut in Rome, Mercedes-Benz LN2 trucks have made a significant impact on the pickup segment. Produced between 1984 and 1998, they were the successors to the LP series, dominating thanks to their flexible range, complex protection functions and improved travel comfort. Weighing from 6. 5 to thirteen tons, LN2 trucks covered a variety of shipping needs, from short-haul distribution to long-haul shipping, with power ratings ranging from 90 to 204 hp. . Innovations such as forced steering, air brake systems, and low-profile tires ensured handling, protection, and efficiency. Despite their many features, LN2 trucks have outperformed their predecessors in terms of cost-effectiveness, providing higher shipping volumes and shipping capabilities and reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. The iconic 7. 5-tonne 814 model, emblematic of the LN2 series, remains a highlight of the vintage Mercedes-Benz truck collection and embodies the legacy of innovation and excellence in advertising vehicle design.
(PRESS RELEASE) LEINFELDEN-ECHTERDINGEN, April 25, 2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Forty years ago, following a presentation to the foreign press in Rome, Mercedes-Benz LN2 trucks began to conquer the light truck segment. The trucks do not have an official designation as such. Produced between 1984 and 1998, they update the lightweight LPs, which have been number one in their segment for almost 20 years. Since the advent of the LN2, light trucks have also had a tilting cab with clear lines and an evergreen design. They were already waiting for the design of this robust elegance (SK since 1988).
The “light elegance” covered a wider diversity than its predecessors: with a total weight of 6. 5 to 13 tonnes (models 709 to 1320, then even up to 1524), it straddled the van/T2 segment from Düsseldorf at the bottom and the Mercedes-Benz NG/SK at the top. In addition to short-distance transport, distribution transport and structural transport, the Mercedes-Benz LN2 offers power outputs from 90 to 204 hp and now a cab for long-distance journeys with a sleeper. responded to the increasing use of this vehicle’s elegance in long-distance shipping. From then on, the diversity of trucks of what was then Daimler-Benz aimed at all uses and elegances of weight.
Mercedes-Benz LN2 trucks evolved from the ground up. They presented more active driving and a maximum point of driving comfort. The cars had frame lengths comparable to those of LP trucks, a shorter wheelbase, and popular power steering, making them more maneuverable. Technical advances were evident in each and every component of the vehicle, from the cabin to the transmission, chassis and brakes. For the first time, production trucks with a maximum weight of 6. 5 t or more were now supplied with a completely compressed air braking formula; now also allows the installation of the anti-lock brake formula introduced through Daimler-Benz on pickup trucks. The Light Elegant’s four- and six-cylinder OM 364 and OM 366 engines have been extensively evolved to achieve maximum delivery speed as part of the transmission optimization process. It has its origins in the OM 312, the predecessor of the series of three hundred engines dating back to 1949. Another novelty: for the first time, Daimler-Benz relied on the low-profile tires of the Light Elegance in the design of application automobiles, intended a to aid handling in all conditions. Optimized handling included unbiased cornering regardless of load conditions, virtually no self-steering movement when braking or cornering, precise directional stability, and minimal frame roll movements.
When the new “Light Class” trucks replaced the old LP Gentle models in 1984, after only 20 years of production, it was a huge step forward. From 709 to 1320 (vanquished even as vanquished as 1524) there were fine graduates. Engine weight and power variants. All-wheel drive was also available. Despite the extensive popular equipment, the automotive generation down to the last detail and the tilting driver’s cabs, the new models managed to exceed the maximum economy shown of the previous LP series: their cargo volume and shipping capacity were excellent, and fuel consumption and maintenance and fixed prices were reduced by ten percent each.
The most widely used model in the LN2 series, a 7. 5-tonne truck with 136 hp and the style designation 814, is part of the Mercedes-Benz vintage truck collection. The vehicle will be on display in front of the Daimler Truck Campus in Leinfelden-Echterdingen until May 15, 2024.
