Thanks to the innovative third generation OM 471 engine, Actros and Arocs models now offer drivers an unprecedented driving experience – and everyone benefits.
Actros
Driving pleasure has never been more efficient.

A one-of-a-kind driving experience.
Optimised consumption.
Saving is splendid: The OM 471 engine is a greatly improved drive system for the Actros and Arocs model series that also reduces fuel consumption by up to 4%*.
Emission control.
With fuel consumption reduced, CO₂ emissions are down too. A newly developed and integrated exhaust control system delivers the ideal compromise between efficient combustion and AdBlue consumption.
Optimised turbocharger and turbocharger strategy.
New power-optimised turbocharger for 375 kW (510 hp) and 390 kW (530 hp) output categories for power-oriented on-road use and for off-road use in all output categories.
Driving dynamics.
Transmission.
With improved torque build-up at low rev speeds, start-up is smoother than ever and PowerShift Advanced simplifies starting and gear shifting behaviour: shifting times are up to 40% faster* in the upper gears, thereby reducing torque disruption.
Sensitivity.
When it comes to manoeuvring, trucks often present drivers with unexpected challenges. Manoeuvring is now more comfortable* with the help of a more progressive feel in the lower pedal travel (i.e. from a pedal position at rest to pushed down halfway). The direct response in the upper pedal travel (pushed down halfway to full throttle) provides a more dynamic response when starting off. It also makes it easier to drive through roundabouts and accelerate out of them with confidence.
