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
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 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.
