Hauling the New Generation to the car dealership

The NG (Neue Generation) from Mercedes-Benz marks the beginning of a product line with an entirely new body design the cubic generation was relegated to the past in the seventies. Vehicle transport specialist Frikus was convinced enough of this Mercedes-Benz with its moving platforms on tractor unit and trailer that they used both levels for transporting new vehicles from the manufacturer to the dealership. The company's unmistakable orange colour was broken up by a central belt of green, its other brand colour, to create a clear and distinct corporate design. WIKING revitalised the moulds in a bid to create yet another reminiscence of the modern classic produced by the seventies.
