If you like trucks, you've probably heard of the beaked trucks, those models with an elongated front that, for decades, were the main protagonists of Brazilian roads.
In 2024, we are saying goodbye to this classic truck style with the launch of the special edition Atron 1635,
the last beaked truck still in production in Brazil, and the feeling of nostalgia and respect for history is inevitable.
This special edition of Atron 1635 is a final tribute, with only 12 numbered units,
With the farewell of the Atron 1635, we close a cycle of 31 years old of the history of Mercedes-Benz's snub-nosed trucks in Brazil.
And this makes us wonder: what led to the extinction of these models, so loved by truck drivers?
These vehicles, inspired by similarly designed American trucks, offer greater comfort and safety for the driver and became, for many years, the symbol of the road in Brazil.
These trucks, with their long fronts and indomitable strength, did more than carry cargo: they carried stories, dreams and the resilience of thousands of drivers who helped shape our country.
The weevils may be saying goodbye, but their legend will remain alive in the memory of all truck lovers.
