High Performance Engine Brake.
The three-stage, wear-free auxiliary brake is optionally available for even greater safety, offering up to 300 kW of braking power depending on the installed engine variant.
Engine brake.
The three-stage brake system offers up to 235 kW of brake power, which comes as standard on vehicles with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 9.5 t or over. This reduces wear on the service brake while enhancing safety and control of the vehicle.
Gearshift.
Mercedes PowerShift 3.
Superior dynamic response, simple handling and low fuel consumption: The automated gearshift ensures precise gear selection, short shift times, high driving comfort and outstanding economy.
With Mercedes PowerShift 3, additional functions such as direct shifting from forward to reverse and one reverse gear with a high ratio make for easy manoeuvring. The crawler function is particularly convenient when moving off.
Manual gearshift.
In addition to the automated transmission, a manual transmission with pneumatic power-assisted gear shifting is optionally available. It features outstanding ergonomics and extremely precise shifting while requiring only a low shift force.
Atego driving programs.
Customers can order their Atego with “power” or “offroad” driving program irrespective of the model variant. Both driving modes enable a style of driving adapted to the given situation1.
[1] The standard driving program is dependent on the selected model variant. For vehicles with the "power" driving program as standard, the "offroad" driving program is optionally available.
