Actros distribution haulage
The solid one.
Functional, efficient, reliable: The Actros is the right choice for heavy-duty distribution haulage. This is where modern driver assistance and safety systems come to your aid. The compact, lightweight cab ensures more payload and is particularly body-oriented.
Highlights
You can make a difference.
In heavy-duty distribution haulage, the Actros offers you the transport solution that suits your requirements thanks to individually selectable bodies and cabs. A wide range of assistance systems can also support you for a safer feeling on the road.
- Economical on the road
- Functionality meets comfort
The Actros for distribution haulage offers you an efficient drivetrain with PowerShift Advanced. And with Predictive Powertrain Control you can drive even more efficiently uphill, downhill and on a straight road.1
Just three steps and you’re there: get in, sit down, drive off. The seats regulate the climate and with the Multimedia Cockpit, interactive you have all the relevant functions at your fingertips on a large screen – from the navigation system to Traffic Sign Assist.
Cost effectiveness
When it comes to fuel consumption, less is more.
With the Actros, in distribution haulage you are on the road efficiently as standard. As opposed to conventional mirrors, the smart MirrorCam guarantees improved aerodynamics – and up to 1.3 percent less fuel consumption. Economical engines and smart drive programs further reduce overall costs.
Predictive Powertrain Control
Consuming less with foresight.
Whether uphill, downhill or on a straight road: with 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 recognise the route you are currently on and adapts the shift sequence to the upcoming driving situation. This means you’ll use up to 5 percent1 less fuel.
Exterior
Your statement truck.
Performance in distribution haulage can look as impressive as this: from a wide range of cab variants, you can put together exactly the truck that suits your needs in distribution haulage. The optional ExtraLine equipment package gives you an individual look.
Interior
Sit back and relax.
High-quality interior design: The interior of the Actros is designed to make your work in distribution haulage easier and to make your breaks as pleasant as possible.
A better overview of everything that's going on at your workplace: the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and the infotainment system with 10.2-inch multi‑touch display can be easily operated 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 can operate the systems and functions in the vehicle, stay informed and increase your working and operating comfort on the road.
Shows you where to go: Mercedes-Benz Trucks Navigation has been specially developed for trucks and offers you dynamic route guidance. Live Traffic Information uses real-time traffic data to take you to your destination by the fastest route.
Safety
Attentive helpers on board.
Assistance systems such as Active Brake Assist 6 or Active Sideguard Assist 2 provide you with an extra portion of driving safety in urban traffic – when turning at confusing junctions, when manoeuvring, in stop‑and‑go traffic and where every centimetre 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 can monitor the area in front of the vehicle and provide support with warning signals in the event of possible dangers – for safer moving off, manoeuvring and turning.
Maintain a safe distance: Proximity Control Assist continuously monitors the distance to the vehicle in front and automatically adjusts the speed. On top of this, Predictive Powertrain Control also regulates the distance in an anticipatory manner if necessary in order to make use of momentum phases – without falling below the safe distance.
Applications
Specialist for your requirements.
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.
