 | | | The Mercedes-Benz L 1 van |
| Daimler-Benz presented its new commercial vehicle range from 20 to 31 May 1927 in Cologne. It included the L 1, L 2 and L 5, plus the N 1 and N 2 models. The L 5 5-t truck, powered by the first six-cylinder diesel engine to be fitted in a road-going vehicle anywhere in the world, caused quite a stir. It became the world's first series-produced diesel truck. The new model series were actually derived from the earlier commercial vehicles built at the Benz factories, with no influence coming from the construction of the old Daimler trucks. In the years following the merger, all commercial vehicles were produced in Gaggenau. |
