Off-road trips

Built for the outdoors, equally impressive inside.

Desert, forest or high mountain roads: a top-class truck conquers them all. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros in its luxury motorhome version is the rugged off-road specialist that off-road fans have been waiting for. Versatile, efficient and durable: these are just some of the characteristics that make the Zetros the vehicle of choice for globetrotters. With bodywork from Hartmann Spezialkarosserien GmbH, it becomes a symbol of luxury in the shell of a high-performance commercial vehicle.

Tradition meets a thirst for adventure.

For over 40 years the long-established Alsfeld company Hartmann Spezialkarosserien has been designing and building special vehicle bodies on almost all types of well-known vehicle frames. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros occupies a special place in Hartmann's product range, as it offers a wide range of personalisation options. The company's motorhomes impress with their high quality and durability.

Not only in Middle Hesse is the Hartmann name synonymous with craftsmanship. Customers from regions with less developed infrastructure and extreme climates particularly appreciate the high degree of customisation of the bespoke products. The company's focus is on closely involving the customer in the conception and meeting of the highest demands.

In the luxury motorhome segment, Hartmann Spezialkarosserien is the point of contact for anyone longing for a highly customised fit-out for their Zetros. With its vehicle bodies, the company presents itself as a flexible partner for all off-road fans who do not want to rely on standard products.

Pure emotion on tour.

Anyone who wants to reach places visited by only a few people needs a means of transport that defies the toughest conditions. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros is such a vehicle. Its resilience and performance make it the perfect choice for individualists who want to experience pure freedom on their journeys.

Primarily because of its convincing off-road competence, the Zetros is the ideal companion for travel through a wide variety of climates and terrains. Whatever the routes you want to tackle look like: the Zetros will get you to your destination.

Its permanent all-wheel drive and the two-speed transfer case deliver power off-road. Thanks to differential locks on all axles and generous approach and departure angles, almost no off-road challenge is too great for the Zetros. The crew also benefits from Mercedes‑Benz’s proven vehicle concept: the seating position behind the front axle, optimal for rough terrain, ensures that the ride remains as relaxed as possible even on the toughest tracks.

In terms of service, the Zetros also offers several convincing advantages. The robust, simple design results in long maintenance intervals, which suits adventurers who are often on the road for long periods. Should help ever be needed, it is provided by experienced personnel who are ready at countless service centres worldwide.

Special vehicle bodies from Hartmann – the epitome of luxury.

Producing top-class vehicle bodies: that is Team Hartmann’s goal in handling every single customer order. This promise is reflected in the outstanding workmanship and the unexpected features that characterize every body leaving the SME’s workshop.

In addition to the usual amenities of a luxury motorhome, the Zetros motorhome’s equipment includes a high-performance air conditioning system, a 7 m long electrically extendable awning and a BOSE multimedia package. The interior features a spacious living and dining area with furniture and surfaces made of solid wood, marble, leather and other high-quality materials.

No wish goes unfulfilled.

The Hartmann company implements even the most extraordinary requirements. Whether it's a hydraulic front winch on the radiator grille or a bathroom with mosaic cladding is of secondary importance.

The experts from Central Hesse fulfil every wish of the Zetros enthusiast — customer satisfaction is their absolute priority. So whether desert, forest or high mountain road: with the Zetros camper van you are well equipped for off‑road adventures.

"We customize the vehicle so that the customer is completely satisfied. The desire to explore then knows no limits."

Patrick Keller, Sales Manager, Hartmann Spezialkarosserien
