Goggins Transport, the UK and Ireland-based general haulage business, has enhanced its fleet with the addition of 11 new, high-specification Mercedes-Benz Actros ProCabin Big 510hp tractor units, with a further five Actros ProCabin Giga units on order for delivery this year. Supplied by dealership group eStar Truck and Van, the investment is a clear signal of confidence from the Goggins family, underscoring a commitment to the business's long-term future and forming a key part of Goggins’ strategy focused on driver retention.

Founded by Martin Goggins in 1979, Goggins Transport has grown from a one-person operation into one of the UK and Ireland’s leading haulage providers, with operational bases in Liverpool, Dublin and Wexford. Today, Martin’s son, Tony, leads the company and oversees UK operations.

“Our father started this business by purchasing his first Mercedes-Benz truck as a driver-owner in Galway,” said Tony Goggins, Managing Director. “Since his passing, our commitment to Goggins’ future is absolute, and this investment is proof of our dedication to serving our customers for years to come. Central to delivering a quality service is driver retention, and our drivers deserve the very best equipment. With these high-spec Actros ProCabins, we are investing heavily in our future while also rewarding our team with a superior working environment that prioritises driver comfort, safety and wellbeing.”

This latest fleet enhancement, which continues Goggins' generational history with Mercedes-Benz Trucks, builds on the strong partnership between Goggins Transport and eStar Truck and Van.

Tony Goggins continued, “We are delighted to continue our history with Mercedes-Benz Trucks with the support of the team at eStar. It’s a long-standing relationship we value and Henry, on their aftersales team, does a great job managing the vehicles once in fleet, ensuring we can maximise their uptime.”

Joe Thompson, Sales Executive at eStar, commented, “We are incredibly proud to continue our relationship with Goggins. This investment demonstrates their confidence in us, the Mercedes-Benz product, and the tailored support we provide. The Actros ProCabin is an exceptional choice for the business and its drivers, offering high performance and unparalleled comfort.”

Richard Waterworth, Head of Truck Sales at eStar, added, “The key to this long-standing partnership is the mutual trust we’ve built with Tony over the years. Goggins' investment in 16 new Actros units underscores this trust and the value they place on our customer support and service. We look forward to supporting their new fleet and continuing to grow this valued partnership well into the future.”

The Actros ProCabin Big cab variant stands out for its exceptionally spacious and driver-focused cab interior, designed with ergonomics that make long-haul journeys safer and more comfortable. Thanks to its flat floor, the Big offers generous standing height too, combined with ample storage compartments, a wide sleeping bunk, and well-appointed controls.

Like the rest of the Actros ProCabin range, the Big cab is blessed with high-quality tactile materials throughout, offering a more relaxed driver and living environment with lower in-cab noise, while boasting modern digital displays, connectivity and safety features that only Mercedes-Benz trucks are renowned for.

Thanks to the ProCabin’s class-leading exterior design and exceptional ergonomics, overall efficiency is improved too, with lower drag and better fuel consumption as standard; all major factors in Goggins Transport’s decision to continue their long-standing relationship with Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
