The long-term contract goes into effect this August. The amount of units to be supplied was not made public. <\/p>\n<p>According to the carmaker&rsquo;s press office, Saudi Arabia and Algeria are some of the countries that will receive the Actros trucks and Arocs and Zetros off-road trucks with Brazilian-made engines. The OM 460 family engines, featuring Euro 3 emission control technology, will be shipped from the Mercedes plant in S&atilde;o Paulo, Brazil to W&ouml;rth, Germany, where the vehicles will be assembled. <\/p>\n<p>A statement quoted Mercedes-Benz do Brasil president and Latin America CEO Philipp Schiemer as saying the Brazilian plant was picked for being a landmark when it comes to cost, quality and reliability. But there&rsquo;s another reason as well: &ldquo;[Mercedes-Benz do Brasil] has a tradition of making robust, resistant engines that are well-suited to the harshest conditions in cargo transportation, as is the case with Africa and the Middle East,&rdquo; the executive claimed. <\/p>\n<p>During development, the engines were tried out in the testing grounds of Mercedes-Benz parent company the Daimler Group in S&atilde;o Bernardo do Campo and in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as in roads in Brazil, Germany and the Middle East. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the engines, the Brazilian subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz has recently inked a deal to export 14 medium trucks to the United Arab Emirates. The automaker&rsquo;s operation in Brazil supplies medium-sized trucks to North Africa and the Middle East since late 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-190017\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brazilian arm of the German automaker will supply the engines that will equip trucks sold in Africa and the Middle East.
