The specialists of Special Interior Company from the Dutch city Dronten worked on this unusual truck under the name PFM for a year and a half. In this case, the company not only radically redesigned the interior of the truck, but also significantly extended its cabin. By the internal dimensions the sleeping compartment of this Mercedes-Benz Arocs is close to the living modules of the highway truck lords – the American bonneted trucks.
And now more about the truck. Externally it looks very similar to a flagship long haul truck with a three-beam star – the Actros model. Which is not surprising, because headlights for tuned truck was taken from the Actros. But the large-mesh radiator grille gives out the original origin – Arocs.
Recall that the Arocs range is designed specifically to work in difficult conditions, including in the construction and agrarian segments. The Arocs trucks are used as prime movers, and also as chassis for different superstructures – dump bodies, mixers, cranes and others.
In our case this was a five-axle chassis with an axle arrangement 10×4 – with two front driven, two driving axles and lifted and steered last axle. There is a crane behind the extended cab. The fact is that the truck decided to turn into an elite car hauler.
Moreover, it also received an exclusive biaxial trailer, made by a specialist Dutch company Pacton Trailers B.V. from Oommen.
The result is the real bomb. Outwardly the truck immediately attracts attention with an elongated cabin, spectacular silver coloring, including the grille with the company’s logo in charcoal black, as well as numerous chrome elements – protective bar under the bumper, “light” on the roof, etc.
But there are no painted mirror housings here, as the truck is equipped with company’s MirrorCam system – with cameras and monitors.
Getting in the cabin, you find yourself in another dimension. And it is not just increased interior dimensions. There is luxurious furniture and chairs, covered with black perforated leather with red stitching, and also the floor made of natural wood on the type of a yacht deck.
In the dark, the interior is decorated with a spectacular contour LED lighting – on the floor and back wall. And music lovers will love the luxurious acoustics.
