Reliability.
Trucks you can count on.
Operators who earn their money in road-bound goods transport need reliability. In other words: trucks they can count on. With the Actros Rigid range we are able to offer you a vehicle incorporating the rich fund of experience and expertise acquired over more than 100 years of German engineering. Equipped with leading Mercedes-Benz vehicle technology and components tested under the toughest conditions.
This applies to engines, gearshifts, transmissions and drive axles as well as frames, chassis, suspension and cabs. Everything is perfectly coordinated, in order to meet all requirements reliably, even in extreme conditions.
Efficiency.
Engines with higher performance and lower fuel consumption.
Mercedes-Benz trucks stand for particularly high economic efficiency worldwide. The Actros Rigid range also meets the highest standards of efficiency, based first and foremost on its particularly low fuel consumption. Low wear and a higher resale value are additional merits contributing to its high overall economic efficiency. To this end, numerous innovative technical measures were implemented in the course of developing the Actros Rigid range.
These result in engines with higher performance and lower fuel consumption, a powertrain which enables a particularly economical driving style, and an aerodynamic design honed down to the finest details in the interest
of fuel efficiency.
Versatility.
For distribution up to 26 t.
Distribution transportation has its very own set of rules. This is why we have created the Actros Rigid range for distribution up to 26 t, to ensure that you are ideally placed to meet the challenges facing this sector.
Our Actros Rigid range of models mean you have the perfect vehicle to meet the demands associated with distribution transport, general freight and other high volume transport requirements.
Equipment Highlights.
Powertrain.
Mercedes PowerShift 3 provides fast shifting from forward to reverse and high-ratio reverse gears for easy manoeuvring. Moving off is noticeably more comfortable thanks to the crawl function.
Rear axle guide.
The innovative rear axle guide also plays a decisive role in the excellent handling: compared with a conventional wishbone, the connection points of the two trailing arms are positioned further towards the outside. This results in the best possible transverse stability, little need for corrective steering and very good understeer/oversteer characteristics.
Tank capacity.
Actros Distribution range can be equipped with a tank capacity of up to 510 litres. This makes for a long operating range and saves money by avoiding the need to retrofit add-on tanks.
Suspension components.
All the suspension elements in the Actros Rigid range are precisely tuned to one another: from the seats to the cab mountings to the 8-bellow air suspension at the rear axle – the overall result is a high degree of suspension comfort for the workplace and a ride which helps protect both the vehicle and its cargo.
Frame.
The frames of the Actros Distribution range are uncompromisingly geared to use in distribution transport. The 834 mm wide track and the stable, assured design ensure good roadholding and comfortable handling. Other advantages include the 50 mm matrix of predrilled holes throughout as well as a large range of wheelbases, frame overhangs and end cross members.
Safety.
Active Brake Assist 41, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Electronic Braking System (EPB) with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Acceleration Skid Control (ASR) as standard - Complies with current European crash testing regulation ECE-R29.
Total Cost of Ownership.

Maintenance.
The information displayed in the cockpit provides you with advance warning when your vehicle’s next maintenance visit is due. This is determined on the basis of the continuous evaluation of data about the actual workload of the vehicle: for example, every single cold start, the degree of brake pad wear, the condition of the engine oil and all major assembly oils. In this way, maintenance can be planned anticipatively and can be combined with statutory inspections, for example. This avoids additional downtime.
Mercedes-Benz Service Plans.
From warranty extensions to maintenance packages to a comprehensive service package including wear items – the Mercedes-Benz graduated range of Service Plans offers flexible repair and maintenance products which are geared to your requirements and which allow you to plan monthly costs and make optimal use of your fleet’s capacity.
