This listing is for a rare Herpa Mercedes-Benz Actros HO scale (1:87) model truck in silver, issued as part of a very limited edition promotional release. The model is marked with the text "Regionalinformation LKW 1 / 2006" across the top of the windshield, indicating its exclusive status as the first model in a 2006 promotional series.
These models were not sold in retail stores, but distributed to industry professionals, company partners, or internal employees as part of Herpa's long-running collaboration with the logistics and transport industry in Germany and across Europe.
Herpa’s “Regionalinformation LKW” series was a special promotional line distributed directly to companies and professionals in the transportation and logistics sectors. These models often featured:
"LKW" = "Lastkraftwagen" (German for "truck"), and “1/2006” indicates this was the first promotional model of the year 2006. These releases are sought after by collectors due to their limited availability and connection to real-world transport themes.
Note: This is a scale model for collectors and display. Not intended for children or rough play.
