Actros
The solid one.
Functional, efficient, reliable: with the Actros, you’re making the right choice for heavy-duty distribution transport. Modern driver assistance and safety systems are on your side. The compact, lightweight cab offers more payload and is especially bodybuilder-friendly.
Highlights
You can really get things moving with this.
In heavy-duty distribution transport, the Actros offers you the transport solution that suits your needs – thanks to a wide range of selectable body types and cabs. To ensure you feel safe on the road, numerous assistance systems can support you.
- Fuel-efficient on the road
- Comfort meets function
The Actros for distribution haulage offers you an efficient drivetrain thanks to PowerShift Advanced. And with Predictive Powertrain Control, you’re even more efficient – whether uphill, downhill or on straight roads.1
Just three steps and you’re away: get in, sit down, drive off. The seats regulate temperature, and with the Multimedia Cockpit, interactive, all relevant functions are clearly displayed on a large screen – from navigation to traffic sign assistants.
Cost effectiveness
When it comes to consumption, less is more.
With the Actros, you’re efficiently on the road in distribution transport – as standard. Instead of traditional mirrors, the smart MirrorCam improves aerodynamics – and helps reduce fuel consumption by up to 1.3%. Economical engines and intelligent driving programmes further reduce overall costs.
Predictive Powertrain Control
Consume less with foresight.
Whether uphill, downhill or on a straight stretch: thanks to Predictive Powertrain Control, you can drive even more efficiently. This is made possible by the satellite-based system and precise 3D maps. The assistance system can identify your current route and adjusts the gear sequence to the upcoming driving situation. This way, you consume up to 5%1 less fuel.
Exterior
A statement truck.
This is what performance in distribution transport can look like: From a wide range of cab types, you can configure a truck tailored to your needs in distribution transport. The optional ExtraLine equipment package gives you an individual appearance.
Interior
Get in and feel good.
High-quality interior design: the interior of the Actros is designed to make your work in distribution transport easier and to make your breaks as pleasant as possible.
More overview at your workplace: the 12.3" instrument cluster and the infotainment system with a 10.2" Multi-Touch-Display can be easily operated via the multifunction steering wheel with touch control buttons. The two MirrorCam displays on the A-pillars complete the digital cockpit.
Swipe and press: with the Touch Control Buttons, you operate the systems and functions in the vehicle, stay informed and increase your working and operating comfort on the road.
Shows you the way: the Mercedes-Benz Trucks navigation system was specially developed for trucks and provides you with dynamic route guidance. Thanks to real-time traffic data, Live Traffic Information gets you to your destination on the fastest route.
Safety
Attentive helpers on board.
Driver assistance systems like Active Brake Assist 6 or Active Sideguard Assist 2 provide extra safety in city traffic – when turning at complex intersections, manoeuvring or in stop‑and‑go traffic, where every yard counts.
The latest generation of Active Drive Assist offers even more safety and comfort, especially on long journeys. From automatic proximity control (including in stop-and-go traffic in traffic jams) to smart Lane Keeping Assist and the Emergency Steering function: if there is a risk of collision when changing lanes, the system can actively intervene and steer your truck back into its own lane. For example, if a health problem causes you to stop driving, the hands-off warning can initiate controlled emergency braking if you fail to react.
Active Brake Assist already fulfils the AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking System) legislation, which will come into force in September 2028. The 270‑degree fusion technology features enhanced reality capture. This enables the system to react even faster to critical situations. As a result, greater accident prevention can be achieved for vehicles up to 90 km/h as well as for pedestrians and cyclists up to 60 km/h. The system now also clearly indicates if it is not yet fully active.
The advanced, second generation of Active Sideguard Assist can support drivers across the entire speed range when changing lanes or turning with restricted visibility. What’s more, the two-stage warning system can alert drivers to potential hazards so that they can mitigate a critical traffic situation in good time.
Front Guard Assist can increase driving safety even before you set off: It monitors the traffic area in front of the vehicle and supports you in the speed range up to 15 km/h, e.g. when the vehicle is stationary, when moving off or at junctions. If the system detects moving objects in front of the vehicle, such as people, the warning system can help you react in good time with a two-stage hazard warning.
Attention Assist 2 can help to prevent accidents in the event of driver inattentiveness or fatigue by means of visual and acoustic warnings. Using an integrated camera, it records the driver’s visual attention based on their viewing angle as well as the driver’s level of fatigue. All data remains inside the vehicle.
Maintain a safe distance: Proximity Control Assist can monitor the distance to the vehicle in front and automatically adjust your speed. Additionally, Predictive Powertrain Control can proactively regulate the distance as needed to take advantage of momentum phases – without dropping below the safe distance.
