The design of the new Arocs has been optimised right down to the finest details in order to reduce wind resistance. Engineers even developed a special cab variant with aerodynamically-optimised design and therefore low fuel consumption: the StreamSpace cab.
Aerodynamic features such as the more slanted windscreen and aerodynamic attachments also contribute to saving fuel.
A wide choice of rear axle ratios matched perfectly to the application also plays a role in keeping fuel consumption low. Economical auxiliary consumers, such as the on-demand power steering pump and new air-conditioning unit also contribute to low fuel consumption.
The fuel-efficient air compressor with two-stage compression is just one of many factors contributing to the new Arocs’s low fuel consumption. Low weight and high reliability are additional benefits.
When designing the new Arocs we tested every individual part extensively – in the wind tunnel and on many million miles of test routes – for minimal drag and low fuel consumption.
The further advanced hypoid twin axles contribute to low fuel consumption on the new Actros and Arocs. In addition, a broad range of rear axle ratios is available for fuel-efficient powertrain configurations.
Solutions geared to practical needs provided the terms of reference in developing the new workplace, resulting in a whole array of components which are finely matched on both an ergonomic and functional level. These include the new cockpit, the new seats and the new multifunction steering wheel. Everything can be operated intuitively and is precisely tailored to the driver’s work procedures. The robust color concept, the high-quality materials and the newly developed beds are further assets providing that extra touch of work motivation.
As your experienced partner who understands your needs, we offer you an individual, business-oriented vehicle solution for every transport task. The Arocs offers the ideal basis for distribution applications which are to be carried out on either surfaced roads or even unpaved roads.
The newly designed workplace, with a cockpit that is ideally suited to the driver’s needs, offers optimum working conditions, because everything is arranged ergonomically and within easy reach. From switches and stowage compartments in the dash support to the gearshift, which is now operated via the steering-column lever. The multifunction steering wheel can be adjusted via a foot-operated switch, and moved to a virtually vertical position for getting in and out. In short: everything ensures that drivers can concentrate on their work in a relaxed manner.
