Atego
Ride comfort, good body-mounting ability
You can expect a lot from the Atego.
Ticks all the boxes for the job: everything.
Ride comfort.
The Atego imparts a very good, self-assured feeling behind the wheel. This stems from Stability Control Assist, the cab suspension system, the steering, the rear axle guide and the suspension, all of which work together in exemplary fashion.
Precision steering.
The Atego's sensitive steering provides for simple, exact handling during manoeuvring, while at high speeds it ensures reliable straight-line stability, high directional stability and a correspondingly reduced need for corrective steering.
Advantages at a glance.
- Superior ride comfort, high body-mounting ability
- Stability Control Assist
- 4-point cab suspension system
- Low roll understeer thanks to optimised rear axle guide
- Direct, responsive steering for high directional stability and low requirement for corrective action on the part of the driver
- Job-matched suspension variants for high ride comfort and gentle transportation of loads
- Excellent body connection options and integration of body
- Cost-saving ex factory pre-installation solutions
Suspension variants.
The Atego is equipped with weight-optimised single- or multi-leaf parabolic springs. For enhanced ride comfort, it is also available with steel and air suspension. The Atego rated at 12 t or over is also optionally available with full pneumatic suspension.
Cab suspension system, reinforced at rear.
The optionally available cab suspension system with reinforced rear coil springs enhances suspension comfort for steel-sprung cabs when the cab is fitted out with a seat/bunk combination, for example.
Axles.
Rear axle guide.
For superior handling, air-sprung Ategos up to 10.5 t and 12 t with low frame as well as all Ategos with steel suspension are fitted with a rear-axle guide that reduces roll understeer.
Stabiliser, rear axle.
The robust stabiliser reduces vehicle roll and thus offers greater safety and comfort. It is situated under the frame at the rear axle.
Air-suspended front axle.
The air-sprung front axle which is optionally available for the Atego rated at 12 t and over enhances ride comfort, as the vehicle is levelled automatically when carrying an uneven load. When loading, it also adjusts to the height of the ramp.
Good body-mounting capability
Features contributing to the high body-mounting ability include the parameterizable special module, which simplifies connection options, integration and operation of the body substantially. A host of measures additionally help to ensure that the Atego is delivered to you sooner and up and running more quickly – from the optimised layout of all components on the frame to numerous factory-fitted pre-installations.
Parameterizable special module.
The optionally available parameterisable special module (PSM) provides for excellent information processing and a smooth exchange of information between vehicle and body.
