Cork-based Murphy Transport has taken delivery of three Mercedes-Benz Actros 2563 LS ProCabin GigaSpace 6×2 tractor units supplied by CTS Mercedes-Benz, according to reporting in HGV Ireland.

The vehicles are powered by 15.6-litre OM473 engines producing 630 brake horsepower and 3,000 newton metres of torque, designed for performance, efficiency and reliability on road transport operations. Each unit is equipped with factory options including Durabrite alloy wheels, bespoke livery and lighting, and compressors supplied by Seamus Bradley.

The Mercedes-Benz Actros 2563 LS ProCabin GigaSpace 6×2 configuration provides tractor units suitable for long-distance haulage operations requiring high power output and fuel efficiency. The OM473 engine delivers torque characteristics supporting heavy loads whilst maintaining emissions compliance under current European standards.

Murphy Transport operates road freight services from its Cork base, requiring fleet capabilities supporting domestic and international haulage operations. The addition of three tractor units indicates fleet expansion or replacement supporting business growth and operational requirements across Irish and European transport corridors.

CTS Mercedes-Benz supplies commercial vehicles and aftersales support for Mercedes-Benz truck operations in Ireland, providing sales, maintenance and parts services for operators across multiple transport sectors. The ProCabin GigaSpace specification offers driver accommodation features supporting long-distance operations with extended sleeper cab facilities.

The investment in Mercedes-Benz Actros units reflects ongoing fleet modernisation amongst Irish haulage operators, with manufacturers offering improved fuel economy, driver comfort and operational efficiency compared to older vehicle generations. Fleet renewal supports compliance with evolving emissions regulations whilst reducing operating costs through improved fuel consumption and reduced maintenance requirements.
