Maximum seating comfort – the air-sprung driver’s suspension seat features height, inclination and depth adjustment of the seat cushion, fast lowering to facilitate alighting, stepless damper adjustment and integrated headrest. All operating controls are combined to form control units and are arranged ergonomically next to the seat area.

The ball-type air vent prevents the side windows from misting or freezing over, and provides a flow of cool air for the driver in the summer months. The illuminated switches for the central locking system, power windows, mirror adjustment and mirror heating system are exactly where you would expect to find them.

Page 12: Actros Features & Benefits

Cab

Heating, ventilation and climate control: prepare to be amazed and feel at easeAll cabs are fitted with manually controlled air conditioning as standard. If the unit is used in the heating mode, the air is dried and counteracts the windscreen and windows misting up from the inside. The air distribution function in the Actros works using a sophisticated system of air ducts and strategically arranged air outlets.

When needed: more space on the co-driver’s sideBoth the seat cushion and the backrest of the standard fitted regular seat can be folded out of the way to provide as much space as you need, for example to get changed. In the sleeper cab this also means you get a better view from the standard fitted bed.

Page 13: Actros Features & Benefits

Good driving starts with good seating

All seats in the Actros have been redesigned to meet the special ergonomic requirements of day-to-day operation. The comfortable, orthopaedically contoured driver’s suspension seat supports safe, relaxed driving even in severe terrain. Ergonomically designed controls, extensive adjustment functions such as seat cushion adjustment for height and angle, and steering wheel adjustment, allow drivers to find their ideal driving position. All seats are upholstered as standard with extremely hard-wearing, easy-to-clean covers. Backrests with integrated head restraints and three-point seat belts ensure the utmost possible safety.

Up to 200% more stowage capacity tells you everything you need to know. In the Premium sleeper cab with high roof, the driver will find three spacious open stowage compartments above the windscreen, hinged lids and interior lighting. The inside surface of the stowage compartments is lined with non-slip fleece material. The open compartment underneath them on the driver’s side is the perfect place for the extremely easy-to-use radio.

The gearshift lever on the Actros is fitted on the side of the driver’s seat, on a fold-away console. It is positioned so that all gear changes can be performed “at the flick of a wrist”. Not only that, but the lever always remains in the most ergonomic position whatever the position of the seat. During breaks and rest periods the console can simply be folded up out of the way – together with the armrest – to create more room.

Real beds, part 1: the comfort bed

After a long, tough day at “the office”, there’s often just one thing that drivers crave: a nice, comfortable bed. Even the standard lower bed in the Actros sets new standards, with its single-piece foam mattress with an integrated, point elastic slated mattress base. The outstanding removable mattress, which is also suitable for fitted sheets, allows drivers to effectively take their own bed with them if they need to swap over to a different Actros. The cab is fitted with a curtain which covers the side windows and windscreen. The result is an exceptionally restful sleep, even during daytime hours.

Real beds, part 2: the luxury bed

At 80 cm in width and 202 cm in length, the dimensions of the luxury bed leave little to be desired. The same is true of the contour-adaptive, AGR-certified, sprung slatted frame. In combination with the high-quality foam mattress, it offers optimum sleeping comfort. Its sliding support elements allow the slatted frame to be adjusted to the weight of the user, whilst the cushioning can be set individually for different areas of the body.

In addition to the improvement in sleeping comfort, the bed also offers the benefits of having your own “personal bed”, with fitted sheets and, if you need to change vehicles, you can simply remove the mattress and go.

The comfort top and lower bed are standard in premium cab, including level adjustment on top bunk. The luxury bottom bed is standard in the long cab low roof cab with adjustable head section on bottom bed. The fold up bunk is standard in day cabs with seat back in forward position. All cabs with beds/bunks include curtains all round.

The comfort bedThe comfort top bed is now truer to its name than ever, as it offers the added luxury of being able to smoothly adjust the bed’s angle when parked on a slope, making it perfect for a sound night’s sleep or for extra stowage space.

A control panel is fitted on the side wall next to each bed and can be used to operate the interior lighting, radio and electrically adjustable tilting roof.

Flexible and extremely comfortable: the contour-adaptive sprung slatted frame. When there is no weight on it, the frame raises the mattress slightly, providing optimum ventilation.

The luxury bedFitted as standard and exceptionally comfortable: the luxury bottom bed now features a built-in, height-adjustable head section. The broad, sturdy frame makes the bed very comfortable to sit on too, whilst also facilitating access to the stowage compartments underneath it.

Engines

Thoroughly convincing: the Actros engine range

The durable and powerful V6 and V8 engines continue to ensure that the proven Actros is as efficent and cost-effective as possible. The engine range has benefited from an extensive package of enhancement measures – significantly raising engine output and torque, whilst keeping fuel consumption low. The Telligent® engine system plays a central role in achieving this. This proven electronic engine management system adjusts the injection of fuel with extreme precision to reflect the driving situation. This optimised injection strategy, coupled with an injection pressure of up to 1 800 bar, results in outstanding mixture preparation and greater efficiency as a result.

The Actros engines have moved forward in terms of durability too. Modifications to the engines ease the thermal load on the pistons and thus ensure that oil consumption is reduced and then kept at a constantly low level. The injection nozzles are fitted with heat-insulating sleeves, which also help lower the thermal load. In addition, these sleeves reduce the amount of soot deposited in the engine oil - which brings us to the subject of maintenance. Inlet valves and seat rings made from more durable materials allow the valve setting intervals to be extended. The crankcase breather with its improved oil separator, plus the compact alternators and starter motor, which have both been designed for a longer service life, also help to reduce the maintenance work required. And the resultant benefits for the Actros? Higher performance and lower costs.

Actros I Engines 19

Multi-hole injection nozzles: lots of power, low emissions

The proven Unit-Pump System (UPS) is used in the Actros for fuel injection. Each of the cylinders has its own plug-in injection pump, which is driven by the camshaft and builds up the required fuel pressure. The high injection pressure guarantees fine fuel atomisation and homogeneous mixture formation for efficient combustion.

For the sake of the environment

Environmental protection is one of our major corporate goals. Accordingly, the measures taken for the environmentally compatible production of our trucks encompass the entire production process: saving primary energy and reducing carbon emissions. In line with our goals we have introduced engines which are compliant with the stringent exhaust emission regulations. Our Euro 3 engines provide further proof that environmental compatibility and cost-effectiveness are not mutually exclusive: unrivalled, low level carbon emissions, particularly low particulate and fine dust emissions, impressively demonstrate this.

Page 20: Actros Features & Benefits

Mercedes PowerShift Transmission

Just how confident we are of our further-enhanced automated gearshift, Mercedes PowerShift, is plain to see from the fact that it is fitted in the Actros as standard*. It excels with optimised shift smoothness, fast gear changes and low fuel consumption. The bottom line of all this is: more Actros, more economy.

Mercedes PowerShift adapts the rotational speeds of the main shaft and gear wheel by means of the electronic engine or gearbox control. This dispenses with the need for servo-lock synchronisation. A propeller-shaft brake on the countershaft decelerates the rotating gearbox masses when upshifting. When downshifting, the engine speed is boosted to ensure synchronism of the corresponding gear wheel with the countershaft.

* All Actros models, excluding tippers, concrete mixers and all-wheel-drive vehicles.

Telligent® Shift transmission

The manual 16-speed Telligent® synchromesh transmission is standard for off-road and construction 6x4, 8x4 and 6x6 vehicles. This is because when running over tricky and uneven surfaces, fully manual gear changing gives drivers the greatest possible control. Particularly ideal in off-road tipper and construction applications where road surfaces can be uneven and gradients severe, the Telligent® manual transmission reassures the driver with full gearshifting control – but effortlessly. Telligent® autoshift transmission is also available as an option.

Benefits

· Increase in gear shifting comfort due to shorter gearshift times

· Increased economy due to reduced interruptions in tractive force

· High vehicle responsiveness owing to short-term utilisation of maximum engine power in Power mode

· Reduction in fuel consumption through Eco-Roll mode

· Sensitive and precisely controlled manoeuvring through Manoeuvring mode

· Time savings due to possible higher speeds when reversing, up to 50 km/h

· Reduction in driver’s workload and increased gearshift comfort due to direct shifting from first gear to reverse

· Easier driving off and protection of the powertrain on difficult terrain owing to the use of Rock-free mode

· Assists economical, alert driving operation and increases traffic safety due to extended cruise control functions

· Transfer of higher torques through wider gear wheels because of the omission of servo-lock synchronisation

· Increase in payload due to lower dead weight

· Low-noise operation, long service life and very good vibration behaviour due to enhanced gear geometry

Features

1 Power mode: permits short-term use of the full engine power.2 Eco-Roll mode: assists in achieving fuel-saving

operation in overrun condition.3 Manoeuvring mode: offers precisely controllable power selection up to 1 000 rpm using the accelerator pedal when manoeuvring.4 Rocking mode: simplifies driving on difficult ground.5 Extension of cruise control function I (speed range): offers an individually adjustable vehicle speed range from 2 to 15 km/h between propulsion and brake cut in. High-speed reverse gears: Allow higher speeds when reversing. Direct first-to-reverse shift: Bypasses the intermediate step via neutral.6 Extension of cruise control function II (separate vehicle speed memories): stores the settings for cruise control/autonomous cruise control and limiter separately, whereby the settings are preserved when switching between functions.7 “Driving position: Normal” switch: the normal driving position can be restored easily, activated from the cab by means of an integrated switch. This makes the work processes for the driver much easier.

Gearshift, transmission, axles

With a choice of eight selectable programmes and application-specific supplementary functions, such as the Power mode, the EcoRoll mode and the optimised Manoeuvring mode, the Mercedes PowerShift fitted in the Actros helps enhance driving comfort, safety and operating economy. See for yourself.

Page 21: Actros Features & Benefits

Mercedes PowerShift: a tangible increase in manoeuvrability, outstanding vehicle control, plus reduced fuel consumption. This is achieved due to a number of measures, including gentler gear changes, shorter interruptions in power flow, as well as reduced pitching and rolling.

The HL7 axle is a proven axle model. Its ground clearance makes it particularly suitable for construction vehicles. On the 3-axle and 4-axle vehicles the tandem unit also features the well-tried HD 7 through-drive axle. All axles boast extremely robust and reliable construction, and are designed for axle load rating of up to 16t. The standard-fit differential lock and ASR ensures maximum traction, even under difficult conditions.

Straight front axleStandard on all steel suspension vehicles and air suspension Truck Tractors. Unlike on the dropped axle version, the axle stubs and the axle body form virtually one plane so that the ground clearance beneath the axle body is significantly increased.

Chassis and Suspension: going to the limit.Frame, axle or suspension – the Actros sets new standards with its uncompromisingly sturdy,

Page 23: Actros Features & Benefits

Frame, chassis, suspension

The innovative, robust and flexible chassis of the Actros with its distinctive body-friendly and weight-optimised design forms the basis for a very economically efficient vehicle.

The Actros is offered with steel and air/steel suspension systems, which provide a complete set of cutting-edge benefits, including roll resistance, precision road-holding and high levels of ride comfort.

Load up easily, drive safely

The standard-fit Telligent® level control allows the frame to be raised and lowered. In trucks with an air-sprung rear axle, semi-trailers or interchangeable systems can be attached and detached quickly and easily. The air suspension offers yet more comfort. It enhances driving safety, and preserves both the vehicle and delicate loads, by continually adjusting the damper settings to the road conditions, load and driving situation.

Actros I Frame, chassis, suspension 23

Parabolic springsSteel-sprung Actros’ are equipped with weight-optimised parabolic springs as well as precisely-adjusted shock absorbers and stabilisers. A special zinc-rich paint protects the parabolic springs against corrosion, making the suspension system especially durable and robust.

Illuminated operation of the air suspensionThe remote control for the air suspension is now illuminated, which considerably facilitates use in the dark. In addition to the permanent illumination, the selected button also flashes briefly.

Axle–load compensationThis is a standard feature between the front axles of all the 4-axle vehicles. Whenever the vehicle drives over an obstacle, the axle taking the most load transfers some of the load to the other axle - thus protecting the suspension mounting, steering system and tyres, as well as increasing ride comfort.

Axle-load measuringThe axle-load meter electronically detects the current individual axle-loads of all air-sprung axles. Sensors in the air-sprung bellows determine the relevant load values as soon as the air suspension has been moved to driving position. The individual axle-loads are displayed. The displayed values are updated automatically when loading and unloading.

Page 24: Actros Features & Benefits

Safety

Even better all-round safety

The Actros maintains its usual high levels of safety. This includes the optimised positioning of the controls and the large windows. All in all the Actros is equipped to offer a high level of both safety and security.

Then there is the integrated brake system, which reacts in an instant to hazardous situations to generate full braking power. A feature also fitted as standard with the Telligent® braking system is the hill-holder function, which helps the driver by preventing the vehicle from rolling forwards or backwards unintentionally, thereby making light work of hill-starts.

When you’re braking, every centimetre counts: Telligent® Braking System

That’s why all Actros models are fitted as standard with the proven Telligent® braking system with ABS and ASR. Permanent brake pressure of 10 bar and internally ventilated disc brakes, or drum brakes, both which don’t lose any effectiveness even after prolonged use, give the Actros impressive braking power.

Drive more safely: Telligent® Proximity Control

The Telligent® proximity control optionally available on air suspended vehicles allows more relaxed and safe driving. The speed and gap maintained by the Actros is automatically adjusted by the drive braking and cruise control as the traffic situation changes. Distance to the vehicle in front is automatically adjusted to the changing traffic situation, without the intervention of the driver. In addition, the Telligent® Proximity Control operates on the minimum distances stipulated by law. The combined Cruise Control system fitted as standard brings together driving and braking functions.

An extra eye on the road: Lane Assistant

The Lane Recognition system is permanently alert. Its job is to warn the driver if the vehicle is about to venture out of its current lane. In the event of this occurring, an acoustic signal is sent through the radio loudspeaker. This feature is standard on all air suspended and steel suspended truck tractors.

Page 25: Actros Features & Benefits

Actros I Safety 25

Feel safer behind the wheel: Driver Airbag

The driver airbag is not only deployed when an accident occurs, but the seatbelt is drawn as close as possible to the driver’s body at the same time. This absorbs kinetic energy and minimises contact between the upper body and the steering wheel. It is standard on all Actros Truck Tractors, and optional on Freight Carriers (excluding all-wheel drive options).

Reduce the risks on challenging routes: Telligent® Stability Control Assist

Telligent® Stability Control Assist maintains the stability of the truck and trailer in difficult driving conditions. It reduces engine power, applies the brakes on individual wheels of the trailer being towed, activates the semitrailer braking system and manages the braking of the entire vehicle combination. It is standard on all air suspended truck tractors.

When you need backup: The Active Brake Assist 2

The Active Brake Assist 2 system detects hazards on the road, and automatically applies the brakes accordingly. It assesses the traffic situation in front of the vehicle, and even recognises stationary obstacles in the truck’s path. It is standard on the Actros 2658LS/33, and optional on all other truck tractors.
