Mercedes-Benz Trucks Kicks Off the “Deutschlandfahrt” 2026 at Wörth Plant
During the “130 years of trucks” anniversary year, Mercedes-Benz Trucks is hosting the official opening of the “Deutschlandfahrt” 2026. The long-standing historic vehicle tour begans on August 27 at the Mercedes-Benz Wörth plant and this year covered approximately 1,086 km through Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. For decades, the “Deutschlandfahrt” has been one of Europe’s most important events for historic commercial vehicles. Organized by ETM Verlag together with commercial vehicle entrepreneur and vintage vehicle enthusiast Joachim Fehrenkötter, it brings together vehicle owners, collectors, companies, and commercial vehicle fans. A defining feature of the event is the diversity of participating vehicles: historic trucks and buses from a wide range of manufacturers and eras travel together, bringing to life the development of commercial vehicles over more than a century.
This year’s edition held special significance for Mercedes-Benz Trucks. One hundred and thirty years ago, Gottlieb Daimler developed the world’s first truck, laying the foundation for modern road freight transport. The “Deutschlandfahrt” provides the ideal setting for the manufacturer to celebrate this anniversary together with customers, partners, and commercial vehicle enthusiasts while showcasing the history of the truck where it was created: on the road. Mercedes-Benz Trucks participated in the tour with selected vehicles from its own heritage. Among them is the original Daimler Motor Truck from 1899, one of the oldest vehicles in the collection and an impressive testament to the beginnings of motorized freight transport. The “Deutschlandfahrt” concluded on September 6 in Weeze, North Rhine-Westphalia.
