distribution: Whether it;s food3 domestic heating fuel or

municipal transportation3 with a permitted gross "ehicle

weight of &< t to $5 t3 the Antos is at home when it

comes to regional transport: The model range3 including

the highly-specialised .oader and 7olumer models3 is =ust as "aried as the 9eld of application: The Antos;s

trump cards also include a wide range of engines

compliant with the *uro 78 emissions standard3 fully

!ntos" the #rst hea*4-dut4 distri$ution truck in a

The new Antos is in a class of its own# in the Antos3

Mercedes-Benz is the 9rst manufacturer to pro"ide a

truc1 speci9cally for the usage pro9le in hea"y-duty

short-radius distribution# well-organised3 easy-to-

operate3 economical and low-emissions "ehicles for

daily use are needed here: A topography that "arieswidely from one region to the next and "arying loads

re!uire a broad range of engine powers fre!uent stops

en route re!uire easy entry and exit: Hea"y-duty

distribution truc1s are e!ually at home in towns and

cities as they are in inter-city transport and on

motorways: With its unusually broad range3 the new

Mercedes-Benz Antos is custom-designed for these

di"erse re!uirements of companies and dri"ers:

&esi'n" unmistakea$le ori'in( uni)ue character

The design of the new Mercedes-Benz Antos is

unmista1eably reminiscent of the new Actros for long-

distance transport: But the Antos has its own identity:

The family li1eness is unmista1eable# the origin is the

same3 but the character is dierent: The Antos3 too3 hasa distincti"e3 clear design idiom and the contrasting Cow

of conca"e and con"ex lines: They add excitement to

the powerful design:

The Antos has a friendly feel3 in line with its fre!uently

urban 9eld of application: The relati"ely Cat design for

short-radius distribution allows it to loo1 "ery robust and

sturdy at the same time3 howe"er: The width of the cab3which is $:(% metres3 also contributes to this: Together


@age '



with the wide chassis3 the Antos is dynamic and broad-

shouldered in appearance: The transition between the

cab and the wheel housings is harmonically designed:

2ri"ers bene9t from the con"enient staircase-shaped

entry with three steps:

The central point of the front part is the radiator grille

with the con9dently large Mercedes star: Than1s to the

Catter cab3 the Antos generally manages with three

radiator 9ns: They are perforated in a similar sportystyle to the Actros: The three-part bumper with robust

steel corners won;t ta1e exception to e"en

comparati"ely rough use3 which is par for the course in

short-radius distribution:

Three ca$ *ariants( all with premium cockpit

The cab of the new Mercedes-Benz Antos is a"ailable as+lassic0pace in short >0? and medium >M? design: The

medium-length "ariant is also a"ailable as a super-Cat

+ompact0pace cab3 for example for truc1s with a

refrigeration unit attached: 2epending on the model3

the engine tunnel is =ust ($% mm or &4% mm high: The

medium-length cab optionally has a folding bun1

$%%% x 5%% mm in size and an all-around curtain3 ideal

for longer brea1s or an occasional o"ernight stop:

The dri"er of the new Antos sits in a premium coc1pit:

This is clear =ust from the multifunction steering wheel

and from the generous seat ad=ustment: The coc1pit of

the new Antos has a dome-shaped and dri"er-orientated

basic shape: The ergonomic operation and "ery well-

organised instrument cluster are also exemplary:

According to the 9eld of application of the Antos3howe"er3 more functional materials are used: The

dri"er;s side of the coc1pit is in blac13 the passenger

side is in a Cannel grey and the ceiling of the Antos is in

The new Mercedes-Benz Antos is a"ailable with an

extraordinarily wide range of Blue*Eciency @ower diesel

engines: The range includes three up-to-the-minute and

responsi"e inline six-cylinder engines compliant with the*uro 78 emissions standard with a 4:4-litre3 &%:4-litre and

combinations and tractorsemitrailer combinations

under "ery challenging topographical conditions:

The new Mercedes-Benz FM G(5 inline six-cylinderengine is particularly light and compact: The new design

has a number of technical re9nements3 such as a

maximum in=ection pressure of $3'%% bar or the world;s

9rst ad=ustable exhaust camshaft in a diesel engine:

performance3 e"en in truc1trailer combinations and

tractorsemitrailer combinations which are only

occasionally loaded to full capacity3 with

correspondingly payload-optimised engines:

The creep mode of the transmission is particularly

important in short-radius distribution3 with its high

proportion of urban routes and manoeu"ring operations

at tight unloading areas# with a pulling-away gear or

re"erse gear selected3 the dri"er can control the speedof the new Antos using the bra1e pedal alone:

The automated transmission is actuated 6 if manual

commands are re!uired 6 by means of an intuiti"ely-

operated steering-column le"er:

Broad rame( sae handlin'

The Antos has an <('-mm wide frame as the basis for

stable handling: The new steering operates both

precisely and directly: The rear axle guide and the

symmetrical four-bellows air suspension of the rear axle

as usual ensure handling that is both comfortable and

safe in e!ual measure:

The full a"ailability of all safety assistance systems

familiar from the Actros in short-radius distribution too is

typical of the new Antos and of Mercedes-Benz

standards: The electronic bra1e system *B0 with disc

all come as standard3 as well as the stability control

The new3 e!ually light and powerful water retarder3 the

high-performance bra1es and the proximity control

assist with stop-start traEc function can also be

supplied as optional extras: Also a"ailable are3 among

other things3 lane 1eeping assist and the uni!ue next-

5oader6Volumer" the #rst usa'e-speci#c models

Together with the new Antos3 Mercedes-Benz introduces

usage-speci9c models for specialist transport in hea"y-

duty short-radius distribution: Mercedes-Benz uses the

term .oader to describe payload-optimised "ariants:

They achie"e record "alues for unladen weight andpayload:

!ntos 5oader" a pa4load record or tractor units

The Antos .oader is the 9rst tractor unit for '%-tonne

"ehicle combinations to be below the 5-tonne limit for

unladen weight 6 and this is e"en with an engine that is

compliant with the *uro 78 emissions standard: As theAntos &<() .0 with the +lassic0pace cab3 aluminium

wheels and super single tyres on the rear axle3 it weighs

approx: 53%%% 1g:

*"en with the larger FM '4% inline six-cylinder engine

compliant with the *uro 78 emissions standard and up to

and e"en in comparison to truc1s in *uro 7 the new

Antos .oader is right at the forefront3 too:

The prere!uisite for this is consistent design aimed at a

Jor the Atego BlueTec Hybrid3 2aimler Truc1s opted for a

parallel Hybrid architecture: This system is the best

suited to the technical design of the Atego;s dri"e

system: 8n parallel Hybrids the electric motor is 9tted

behind the combustion engine and clutch but in front of

the transmission: This arrangement means that the

engine and the electric motor can either be used

independently of one another or simultaneously topropel the truc1:

Not only does this architecture allow the "ehicle to

mo"e o in electric mode3 but it also enables

recuperation of energy as well as pro"iding assistance

to the dri"e system by switching in the electric motor:

This type of construction is also the best solution in

*nergy is supplied to the electric motor by powerful

lithium ion batteries with an impressi"e energy density:

The batteries are charged using recuperated bra1ing

energy: 8n o"errun mode3 the electric motor wor1s as a

generator3 turning bra1ing energy into electricity which

is then fed into the batteries until they are fully charged:

A con"erter turns the A+ "oltage of the electric motorinto a 2+ "oltage for the battery and when the energy is

needed again3 the process occurs in re"erse order:

The Hybrid dri"e pro"ides noticeable support to the

con"entional diesel engine: This is particularly the case

when pulling o and during acceleration phases: By

using the electric motor3 pulling away3 for example3

becomes much smoother: The engine only runs at idlespeed: The impressi"e acceleration results from the

electric motor being able to immediately supply its

maximum tor!ue from a standstill and engine speed not

needing to be built up in the same way as with a

combustion engine: 8f additional power is re!uired

during dri"ing3 for example when dri"ing up an incline or

when rapid acceleration is re!uired3 the electric motor

can be switched in brieCy to support the diesel engine: This is only possible if the battery has a suEcient charge

The ad"antage of this new transmission with its se"en

gears is the wide spread between the lowest and the

practice3 this means that the 0printer;s low 9rst-gear

ratio ensures that it can pull away dynamically:

Howe"er3 at high speeds3 the "an is economic3 produces

low emissions and runs !uietly with a low engine speed:At the same time3 there is a gear for e"ery dri"ing

situation and the shifts in engine speed between the

The new Bra1e 2is1 Wipe system builds up a low le"el of

bra1e pressure on a cyclical basis in rainy and wet

conditions: As a result the 9lm of water on the bra1e

disc is wiped away3 thus ensuring full bra1ing

performance immediately:


@age G(



This is complemented by *lectronic Bra1e @re9ll# if the

dri"er remo"es his foot from the accelerator abruptly3

the "ehicle interprets this as the 9rst mo"e before

bra1ing: The system reacts to this by gently applying

the bra1e pads to the bra1e discs: As a result the

distance between the two resistance partners has

already been reduced to nothing3 so to spea13 when the
