Actros
The Solid one.
Functional, efficient, reliable: with the Actros, you’re making the right choice when it comes to heavy-duty short-radius distribution. Here, you have modern driver assistance systems and safety systems at your side. The compact, lightweight cab allows for greater payloads and is 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
Just three steps and you’re away: Get in, sit down, drive off. The seats regulate temperature, and with the Multimedia Cockpit, interactive, all relevant functions are clearly displayed on a large screen — from navigation to traffic sign assistants.
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.
Swipe and press: With the touch control buttons, you operate the systems and functions in the vehicle, stay informed, and increase your working and operating comfort on the road.
Shows you the way: The Mercedes-Benz Trucks Navigation was specially developed for trucks and provides you with dynamic route guidance. Thanks to real-time traffic data, Live Traffic Information gets you to your destination on the fastest route.
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.
Safety on both sides as standard: the latest generation of Active Sideguard Assist provides even better support when changing lanes, overtaking and turning in complex situations.
Keeping an eye on everything: Front Guard Assist monitors the area in front of the vehicle and supports the driver with warning signals in the event of possible hazards. The system provides support when moving off, manoeuvring and turning more safely.
Maintain a safe distance: Proximity Control Assist can monitor the distance to the vehicle in front and automatically adjust your speed. Additionally, Predictive Powertrain Control can proactively regulate the distance as needed to take advantage of momentum phases without dropping below the safe distance.
Applications
Specialist for your demands.
Whether it’s a car transporter, silo or tanker, the Actros is equipped for individual applications. In particular, standard features such as Predictive Powertrain Control, MirrorCam6 and the Multimedia Cockpit, interactive support you in this. Innovative safety systems such as Active Brake Assist 6 and Active Drive Assist 3 are also on your side.
