You can expect a great deal from the Atego: efficient working with the vehicle, for example, excellent handling and high body-mounting ability. Which all adds up to just about everything you need. And right from your first trip, you won't want to do without any of these assets.
Ride comfort, good body-mounting ability.
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.

Suspension variants.
The Atego is equipped with weight-optimised single- or multi-leaf parabolic springs. For enhanced ride comfort, it is also available with rear-air suspension. Ategos rated at 12 t or over are also optionally available with full pneumatic suspension.
Cab suspension system, reinforced at rear.
The cab mountings with reinforced rear coil springs enhance suspension comfort with steel-sprung cabs when the cab is fitted out with a seat/bunk combination, for example.
Air-suspended front axle.
The air-suspended front axle increases the driving comfort as the vehicle level is automatically adjusted to compensate for an unevenly distributed load. When loading, it also adjusts to the height of the ramp.
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.
Atego body-mounting ability.
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 parameterizable special module (PSM) provides for perfect information processing and a smooth exchange of information between vehicle and body.
