Mercedes Benz luxury concrete truck

I've never had aspirations for owning a Mercedes, but living in the US I've had a firm impression of them as a luxury brand, and would assume that all their cars or other vehicles are much more expensive than your typical mainstream Toyota Camry, etc. That, however, seems to be a story made for US consumption. Or, maybe German concrete truck drivers are payed A LOT more than in the US? For the record, I've also seen a lot of delivery vehicles and some dump trucks with Mercedes logos.

Today is our last day in Germany. It's raining so we'll probably spend most of it packing and cleaning. Next stop: O$lo, Norway (said to be the most expensive city in Europe, but we didn't know that when we booked cheap flights there)!
