Actros

The latest iteration of this innovative safety system can execute emergency braking as you approach stationary or moving objects. It can also apply partial or full braking for pedestrians in specific scenarios, enhancing safety for both you and fellow road users. This functionality is effective up to a vehicle speed of 50 km/h, contributing to an enhanced level of safety.

Dust and larger particles can hinder your work. With the strategically positioned air intake at the upper section of the cabin and the newly designed cyclone pre-filter, as much as 80% of dust and larger particles are intercepted before they even reach the air filter. This significantly extends the air filter's lifespan, resulting in a considerable decrease in maintenance expenses.

The optional secondary water retarder provides enhanced braking capability, delivering up to 3500 Nm of braking torque. It allows for higher average downhill speeds while maintaining a lower weight compared to traditional oil retarders. This wear-free and maintenance-free auxiliary brake can handle up to 85 percent of braking tasks. It doesn't require an extra oil circuit with an oil cooler, as it utilizes the engine cooling circuit's water.

An extensive selection of rear axle ratios tailored to different operational needs significantly aids in maintaining fuel efficiency. The inclusion of fuel-efficient auxiliary systems, like the on-demand power steering pump and updated air-conditioning unit, further contributes to reduced fuel consumption. The advanced hypoid twin axles also play a crucial role in minimizing fuel usage in the Actros.

The Electronic Brake System encompasses standard features such as Anti-lock Braking (ABS) and Anti-slip Regulation (ASR) across all Actros models. This system operates the brake system electronically, ensuring individual braking for each wheel. Additionally, it incorporates secondary braking for enhanced safety and decreased wear.

The Actros is equipped with a standard engine brake, enhancing safety and vehicle control. This three-stage brake system provides up to 230 kW of braking power, reducing wear on the service brake. By utilizing the engine as a compressor and maintaining a constant throttle, the engine brake offers wear-free retardation. Additionally, an advanced three-stage auxiliary brake (available for Euro IV/V) delivers up to 475 kW of brake power, ensuring even higher safety levels and preserving the service brakes.

The Actros features an enhanced engine cooling system designed to operate effectively even in high temperatures. This system allows the truck to maintain higher engine output in challenging conditions such as high ambient temperatures or at higher altitudes. The inclusion of a high-speed fan prevents engine overheating and ensures consistent performance. Additionally, the engine is equipped with an automatic down-rating feature, which activates when coolant temperature exceeds acceptable levels, further safeguarding against overheating.

The Actros offers a selection of three robust 6-cylinder in-line engines, all compliant with Euro IV/V emission standards: the 10.7-liter OM 470, the 12.8-liter OM 471, and the 15.6-liter OM 473. These engines are engineered to ensure minimal fuel consumption, extended lifespan, and peak performance. The OM 470 and OM 471 engines are built upon proven technology and durable components, delivering high levels of torque at lower engine speeds through their advanced common-rail injection system. The OM 470 offers engine outputs ranging from 240 kW (326 hp) to 290 kW (394 hp), while the OM 471 boasts power ratings from 310 kW (421 hp) to 350 kW (476 hp). The newly developed OM 473 engine covers a spectrum from 380 kW (517 hp) to 425 kW (578 hp), combining exceptional performance with optimized fuel efficiency.

From the front apron to the roof, the visually captivating exterior design of the newly developed Actros redefines long-distance transport style. With its unique hole pattern grille, streamlined mirror design, and appealing cab structure, the Actros exudes a distinct presence. Every element of the Actros' design has been meticulously refined, taking into account even the smallest details, following rigorous testing to achieve remarkably low wind resistance and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Multiple factors contribute to the decrease in Total Cost of Ownership, including Telematics and Mercedes-Benz ServiceSolutions. Telematics simplifies fleet management, leading to improved efficiency. Well-established systems like Performance Analysis monitor essential performance indicators over extended periods, aiding drivers in adopting a proactive driving approach that reduces wear and fuel consumption. Enhanced maintenance intervals and fewer trips to workshops further enhance the economic feasibility of your vehicles. Substantial fuel savings become achievable, personnel and administrative expenses are meticulously tracked, and the entire package seamlessly integrates into your company's network.

The enhanced road grip and improved driving dynamics stem from the broader track and sturdier construction of the newly designed chassis. Additional benefits encompass the 50 mm grid of pre-drilled holes spanning the frame, the refined wheelbase, and the expanded assortment of wheelbase options, frame extensions, and terminal cross members.

Exceptional responsiveness, user-friendly operation, and minimized fuel consumption: the automated transmission guarantees accurate gear shifts, rapid transition times, elevated driving comfort, and optimal efficiency. The Mercedes PowerShift 3 stands as the proven and reliable high-performance automated shifting system for your Actros. Shift durations are reduced by up to 20 percent compared to Mercedes PowerShift 2 and by up to 50 percent in contrast to Telligent® automated gearshift.

Replacing the traditional rear-view mirror, the Actros incorporates the innovative and aerodynamically advanced MirrorCam. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances rear visibility and visibility around the A-pillar. The MirrorCam contributes to enhanced safety during various maneuvers such as turning, lane changing, and reversing. The camera image adjusts in response to the vehicle's motions. While the MirrorCam is a novel option, a conventional mirror system remains available as an alternative choice.

The Actros showcases the revolutionary Multimedia Cockpit, designed to elevate driving comfort, ergonomic efficiency, and user-friendliness. The main color display and the secondary touch display are seamlessly controlled through the advanced multifunction steering wheel equipped with Touch Control buttons. This integration enhances the overall driving experience.

Mercedes PowerShift 3 harnesses sophisticated sensor technology to finely tune gear shifting, aligning it with the driving and load conditions. This intelligent system detects downhill gradients and retains the appropriate gear through the overrun mode. The inclusion of a crawl function with an integrated maneuvering mode simplifies starting off and ensures precise and swift maneuverability. Mercedes PowerShift 3 introduces extra capabilities like seamless transitions from 1st to reverse gears, featuring high ratios that facilitate straightforward maneuvers.

Regarding suspension options, the Actros provides the flexibility of either a durable steel suspension or a hybrid steel and air suspension, chosen based on the specific usage scenario. For rugged off-road tasks, the solid and sturdy steel suspension stands out for its reliability, durability, and strong load-bearing capabilities. Conversely, for primarily road-oriented operations, the Actros offers the possibility of steel suspension on the front axle and air suspension on the rear axle. The newly introduced 4-bellows air suspension enhances driving dynamics and ensures a comfortable ride experience.

The innovative turbo retarder clutch, resistant to wear, seamlessly integrates the capabilities of a hydrodynamic start-up clutch and a primary retarder into a single unit. With the ability to deliver brake power of up to 720 kW directly from low speeds, the engine-speed retarder is finely tuned to complement Mercedes PowerShift 3 and the electronic engine management system. This advanced component is engineered to withstand heavy loads and extreme conditions, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
