Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Sinsheim – The Sinsheim Technology Museum, in cooperation with the South German Truck Veterans Association, is hosting the South German Historic Commercial Vehicle Meet on the weekend of September 20–21, 2025. More than 180 elaborately restored vintage trucks and buses from past decades – from the early 20th century to models from the 1980s – are expected to attend. Among them, Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic will present fourteen selected vehicles from its own collection alongside two current truck models from the brand. 

“With the diversity of historic and current commercial vehicles from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, we invite you to experience history, technology, and passion up close at one of the largest events of its kind,” says Bernd Hufendiek, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic.

Trucker lounge and personal consultation

The central point of contact is the trucker lounge under the museum's famous submarine. Here, visitors can obtain information about rides and consult with Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic partner Dreyer about classic car spare parts, restoration, and vehicle care.  

Selected vehicles at an overview 

The following Mercedes-Benz Trucks Classic vehicles will be on site:
LP 1620, LP 1519, LP 608, L 3000 S, L 5000, 1CN, L 4500, L 6600 fire truck, French Army Unimog, and an L 710 fire truck. 

On Saturday and Sunday, Mercedes-Benz Trucks will offer visitors the opportunity to experience state-of-the-art truck technology: take a seat in one of the two fully electric eActros 600 trucks with bench seats that are already on the road today and see for yourself their impressive performance – quiet, powerful, and locally emission-free.

For fans of classic commercial vehicles, rides in the vintage L 311, LP 323, L 1113, and historic O 3500 buses will also be available.
