About our trucks
Our trucks are one of a kind. We use a fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, known for their durability and unique design. Features like the integrated cab and roof-seats are unique to Dragoman and our customers regularly tell us they make our trucks the best on the road. With their distinctive orange and white livery and personalised names our trucks have become icons in their own right.
The trucks are designed to be solid and sturdy so we don’t need to stick to the tarmac or follow the crowd. These are rugged vehicles that will get you off the beaten track, so there’s no air-conditioning here, but they’ve been custom-built for this style of travel and are fully equipped for camping with comfortable coach-style seating. All Dragoman trucks are owned and maintain by us. Our crew have extensive mechanical training and follow a strict maintenance schedule. This means we can guarantee the quality and safety of our fleet. We currently have 30 overland trucks on the road worldwide and the fleet is growing all the time!
