Mercedes-Benz Trucks LP1620
The Mercedes-Benz LP1620 was the long-distance king of 1960s European trucking — a tall cab-over design with the OM401 V6 diesel, bunk cab option, and air-assisted gearchange. Its powerful headlights, European safety awareness, and Mercedes build quality made it the premium choice for international haulage.
