Hurriyet Daily News - Mercedes-Benz, a leading motor vehicle manufacturer, will produce its "Actros" trucks in the Central Anatolian province of Aksaray, the company announced on Wednesday.
Wolf-Dieter Kurz, President of Mercedes-Benz’s Turkish Board of Directors, said on Wednesday that they have widened the product range at the truck factory in Aksaray and announced that the manufacturing of "Actros" trucks will commence in Aksaray by the end of the year. The adding of Actros to the existing production line in Aksaray will require an investment cost of EUR 12 million.
