Actros
The Solid one.
Functional, efficient, reliable: With the Actros, you’re making the right choice for heavy-duty distribution transport. Modern driver assistance and safety systems are on your side. The compact, lightweight cab offers more payload and is especially bodybuilder-friendly.
Highlights
You can really get things moving with this.
In heavy-duty distribution transport, the Actros offers the transport solution that suits your needs — thanks to a wide range of selectable body types and cabs. To ensure you feel safe on the road, numerous assistance systems can support you.
- Fuel-efficient on the road
- Comfort meets function
The Actros for distribution haulage offers you an efficient drivetrain thanks to PowerShift Advanced. And with Predictive Powertrain Control, you're even more efficient — whether uphill, downhill, or on straight roads.1
Cost effectiveness
When it comes to consumption, less is more.
With the Actros, you're efficiently on the road in distribution transport — as standard. Instead of traditional mirrors, the smart MirrorCam improves aerodynamics — and helps reduce fuel consumption by up to 1.3%. Economical engines and intelligent driving programs further reduce overall costs.
Predictive Powertrain Control
Consume less with foresight.
Whether uphill, downhill, or on a straight stretch: Thanks to Predictive Powertrain Control, you can drive even more efficiently. This is made possible by the satellite-based system and precise 3D maps. The assistance system can identify your current route and adjusts the gear sequence to the upcoming driving situation. This way, you consume up to 5%1 less fuel.
Exterior
A statement truck.
This is what performance in distribution transport can look like: From a wide range of cab types, you can configure a truck tailored to your needs in distribution transport. The optional ExtraLine equipment package gives you an individual appearance.
Interior
Get in and feel good.
High-quality interior design: The interior of the Actros is designed to make your work in distribution transport easier and to make your breaks as pleasant as possible.
More overview at your workplace: The 12.3" instrument cluster and the 10.2" Multi-Touch-Display can be operated easily via the multifunction steering wheel with touch control buttons. The two MirrorCam displays on the A-pillars complete the digital cockpit.
Safety
Attentive helpers on board.
Driver assistance systems like Active Brake Assist 6 or Active Sideguard Assist 2 provide extra safety in city traffic — when turning at complex intersections, manoeuvering, or in stop‑and‑go traffic, where every yard counts.
Applications
Specialist for your demands.
Whether car transporter, silo truck, or tanker — the Actros is equipped for a wide range of applications. Standard features like Predictive Powertrain Control, MirrorCam 6 and the Multimedia Cockpit, interactive support you in particular. Innovative safety systems like Active Brake Assist 6 and Active Drive Assist 3 are also on your side.
