With the Arocs and Atego you have vehicles which use fuel extremely efficiently. Plus: the combination of vehicle technology and services such as our driver training enables substantial additional reductions in fuel costs. An accomplished driver can make a good truck even better.

With the modified OM 470 and OM 471 the range now features two even more economical engines, each of which is available in five power output ratings. Other contributing factors to the low fuel consumption include the optimised 12-speed transmission, the improved shift strategy. New, intelligent ancillary consumers and honed aerodynamics also play a role. In conjunction with the optimised powertrain, the new OM 470 and OM 471 engines are, all in all, able to achieve fuel savings of up to 3% in comparison with their predecessors.

A broad selection of job-matched rear axle ratios and transmissions also contributes to reduced fuel consumption. Short shift times and economical auxiliary consumers such as on-demand compressed air control and the power steering pump additionally help to reduce fuel consumption.

The design of the Atego and Arocs has been optimised down to the finest details in the interests of reduced drag. From the bumper via the corner panelling to the roof – everything contributes to a low level of aerodynamic drag and thus to reduced fuel consumption. Aerodynamic attachments also reduce fuel consumption. Tyre pressure monitoring results in reduced rolling resistance, thereby also contributing to low fuel consumption.
