Mercedes-Benz Actros - State of the ‘ARC’ for BIM

An Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), Ireland’s marine fishing and aquaculture development agency, has hit the road in spectacular fashion. Vinehall Displays was commissioned to come up with a unique challenge to design a truck-sized mobile classroom that would visit primary schools throughout Ireland. And the end result is stunning! Funded by BIM, the County Dublin based company created the ‘Aquaculture Remote Classroom’ – a modern, stateof-the-art ‘classroom on wheels’ – built on a Mercedes-Benz Actros 2545L 6x2 rigid. Appropriately given the acronym ‘ARC’, its mission is to tour Ireland and visit schools, to raise awareness of aquaculture amongst young people and to share with them knowledge on the cultivation and farming of plants and animals in water. Bedecked with latest high-tech features, ARC’s educational aids include three 55” surround sound TVs, virtual reality headsets, adaptive LED lighting, and seating for 30 children and their teachers. Supplied by MercedesBenz Commercial Vehicle dealer MUTEC, the Actros 2545L comes with a Big Space cab, rear steer axle, low frame chassis and air suspension, front and rear. Driver comfort features include a multimedia cockpit, Apple Car Play, climate control, night heater, fridge and sun roof, amongst others. Founded in 1988, Vinehall Displays is one of Ireland’s leading conference, exhibition and event production companies. The family-run business

provides top quality service while keeping a close eye on emerging technologies and design to offer the very best to their clients, which include Coca Cola, Bank of Ireland, OPW, Musgrave, State Street Bank and KPMG.

Another fine ‘Actros’ Catch for McElchar International Transport

The Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty Actros truck has proven to be just the catch for family-owned seafood haulage specialist McElchar International Transport Limited. The Donegal-based haulier has enhanced its fleet of heavy commercial vehicles with the recent addition of two new Actros 2453LS 6x2 tractor units, with high spec Big Space cab.

Supplied by Mercedes-Benz main dealer, Somers Commercials of Camolin, the new units bring to nine the number of Mercedes-Benz trucks now on the Castlefinn firm’s fleet.

A Mercedes-Benz customer since 2013, McElchar’s general manager, Barry McElchar puts his firm’s band loyalty down to the backup service received from Somers Commercials which he says is ‘second to none’, coupled with the ‘reliability, fuel economy and driver comfort the Actros truck delivers’.
