The Actros up to 250 tonnes is a tractor unit that has been systematically designed and built to move particularly heavy and large loads. What’s more, The Actros SLT up to 250 tonnes sets standards for comfort, vehicle performance and flexibility. It excels at first glance, on every trip – and during breaks, too: with the GigaSpace and the BigSpace cabs it offers exactly the level of working and accommodation comfort that you need in the heavy haulage sector.

Sustained high power transmission. The way it should be in the heavy haulage sector.
High power alone is not enough – it has to be delivered precisely where and, above all, when it is needed. The Actros SLT shows how it's done, for example with the Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmission, task-optimised driving programs, 16 gears and the Turbo Retarder Clutch.
Heavy-duty vehicle auxiliary radiator system.
The additional radiator system ensures that the maximum performance of the integral retarder as well as the full output available from the engine can always be used for an unlimited period.
Turbo Retarder Clutch.
It delivers particularly high power for precise, wear-free pulling away while also enabling manoeuvring at low revs and the full torque of up to 3000 Nm for as long as is necessary.
The wear-free Turbo Retarder Clutch combines the functions of a hydrodynamic start-up clutch and a primary retarder in a single component.

Mercedes PowerShift 3.
The Actros SLT is equipped with the Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmission in conjunction with the Turbo Retarder Clutch and an optimally matched 16-speed constant-mesh transmission. Precise gear selection in accordance with the demands of the current driving situation is handled by the accompanying "heavy" shift program. The crawl function with the integral manoeuvring mode makes moving off easy and manoeuvring precise and responsive. Furthermore, there are various driving modes and additional functions to make driving a heavy haulage truck and load easier.
Transmission G 280-16 / 11.7-0.69.
For particularly heavy-duty requirements, the Actros SLT up to 250 tonnes GCW is available with Mercedes PowerShift 3 and a 16-speed transmission.
Heavy driving program41. The driving program is specially designed for heavy haulage work. It features impressively short shift times and a precise gear selection adapted to the given situation.
Power41 drive program. It comprises the driving modes "power", "standard" and "manual". "power" is designed for on-road use and supports driving with an onus on power as necessary.
Cab variants.
GigaSpace.
L-cab GigaSpace, 2.50 m, flat floor.
