Mercedes-Benz Actros

The new Actros and Arocs for the heavy-duty segment are the highlights at the Mercedes-Benz Bauma stand. They set standards in terms of safety, efficiency and performance. The new Actros generation for on-road use has thanks to the new Active Drive Assist (ADA) a comfort-function mainly for highways and federal highways. Actros and Arocs trump with MirrorCam instead of regular exterior mirrors. Both of them can also be equipped with the enhanced Active Brake Assist 5 emergency brake assistant. Thanks to pedestrian recognition, it can automatically initiate emergency braking and follow through to a complete standstill if necessary. Furthermore, the Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) function now works with even greater sensitivity and can therefore also be used sensibly in construction-site traffic on inter-city routes. And the new multimedia cockpit with two large, free-standing displays offers the driver unique and convenient display and operating concept.

The medium-duty Atego is available in many variants for the construction industry. The compact and manoeuvrable truck with a gross vehicle weight ranging from 7.5 t to 16 t rounds off the lower end of the construction vehicle range. Depending on the intended application, the Atego is available with engageable or permanent all-wheel drive.
