The new Actros meets the need for an extremely cost-effective solution to the challenges of long-distance haulage and heavy-duty distribution haulage. To respond to this requirement all the more effectively in the payload-sensitive and high-volume transport segments, we have developed the new Actros Loader and the new Actros Volumer. Because specialised tasks call for specialised tools – or rather, specialised vehicles.

Payload
More payload for more efficiency.
Carry that weight!
The Actros Loader and the Actros Volumer.
The new Actros Loader payload-optimised tractor units and rigids combine powerful, fuel-efficient Euro VI engines and cabs matched to the jobs they have to do, with the high standard of safety that is a hallmark of the new Actros.
Advantages at a glance.
- Extremely high payload through application-oriented vehicle configurations and weight-reducing measures
- Weight-saving equipment features; deselection of certain items possible
- Light, economical Euro VI in-line engines with a displacement of 7.7 or 10.7 l with ten power output ratings from 175 kW (238 hp) to 335 kW (455 hp)
- Four cab variants
- High level of safety through availability of all safety and assistance systems
- Safety Packs
Actros Loader.
The Actros Loader: for those who want more payload.
A lower net weight for a heavier payload – from the radiator grille to the end cross-member. The Actros Loader has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of payload-sensitive sectors. This is why it is among the lightest vehicles in long-distance transport. Regardless of whether as a tractor unit or rigid. Quite simply, you can pack more onto the Actros Loader. And that pays off. On every trip.
Safety equipment.
The Actros Loader is available with the full spectrum of safety and assistance systems – either singly or bundled in appropriate and reasonably priced Safety Packs.
Payload optimisation ex factory.
Designed especially for payload-sensitive haulage applications, the Actros Loader tractor unit with a ClassicSpace cab features a 320 mm-high engine tunnel, light engines from the 7.7 l displacement class and an output of 235 kW (320 hp)1. Standard equipment includes Mercedes PowerShift 3 with a 12-speed direct-drive transmission as well as weight-saving super-wide tyres on aluminium rims.
Cabs.
For added comfort, the Arocs Loader concrete mixer can be provided with an M-cab. L-cabs of 2300 mm in width are additionally available for the Arocs Loader tractor unit.
Engines.
Actros Loader tractor units are equipped with Euro VI engines in the 7.7 l displacement class with outputs from 235 kW (320 hp). The rigids in this displacement class are available with a choice of five power output ratings from 175 kW (238 hp) to 260 kW (354 hp). The Actros Loader can also be equipped with engines in the 10.7 l displacement class which are available with five power output ratings from 240 kW (326 hp) to 335 kW (455 hp).
Weight-reduction measures.
Many components and equipment features of the Actros Loader are systematically designed for use in the payload-sensitive sectors. But because we know that payload is not "everything", you can also deselect various payload optimisation elements – for greater comfort, for example, rather than lower fuel consumption.

Actros Volumer.
The Actros Volumer: for those who need lots of space.
Huge transportation volumes, fuel-saving powertrain configurations, a long operating range and perfect alignment with the application for which you intend to deploy it – the Actros Volumer shows how tractor units and rigids need to be built today to make high-volume haulage especially profitable.
Volumer concept.
As a true high-volume haulage specialist, the Actros Volumer allows you to make optimal use of the maximum transportation volume in the long-distance transport sector. In conjunction with 315/45 tyres on the rear axle and the lowered ride height, a laden coupling point height of 900 mm and a resultant clear loading height of 3 m are possible. This allows three standard automotive pallets to be stacked on top of each other easily, for example. Other advantages include fuel-saving powertrain configurations and a wide choice of tank variants for low consumption and a particularly long operating range.
Cabs.
The Actros Volumer is available with a total of eleven cab variants which meet practically all the requirements in international and national high-volume haulage. The choice ranges from the GigaSpace cab down to the CompactSpace cab which is optimal for car transportation.
Drive system and engines.
The application-optimised powertrain configurations also make the Actros Volumer an economical transport solution - as the wide range of rear axle ratios available means that the Actros Volumer can also be equipped with a direct-drive transmission in conjunction with 315/45 tyres.And that saves up to 1% fuel compared with an overdrive transmission.
The economical 6-cylinder in-line engines of the Actros Volumer are available in the three displacement classes 7.7 l, 10.7 l and 12.8 l and therefore in a total of 15 power output ratings from 175 kW (238 hp) to 390 kW2 (530 hp).
Volumer details.
With a particularly low laden coupling point height of 900 mm, the Actros Volumer has what it takes to provide cost-effective high-volume transport services. The clear loading height of 3 m as well as the wide choice of cab variants, task-optimised powertrain configurations and tank variants play their role, too.
Tank capacity.
Long operating range.
With a fuel tank capacity of up to 990 l for tractor units and up to 1000 l for low-frame rigids, the Actros Volumer provides a particularly long operating range for high-volume haulage.
Despite having Euro VI exhaust technology, which calls for more space, Actros Volumer tractor units can be equipped with a tank capacity of up to 900 litres. Low-frame rigids can even have a tank capacity of up to 1000 l. This makes for a long operating range and saves money by avoiding the need to retrofit add-on tanks.
