“Mercedes Actros” is a family of heavy trucks and semitrailers designed and manufactured by the world famous Stuttgart company. The concern, which produces elegant and luxurious business class sedans, has more than successfully managed to establish the production of such overall vehicles, which also weigh from 18 to 25 tons.
Cars in brief
Mercedes-Aktros models have been produced since 1996. In 2003, they experienced a change in the lineup. And today, several different variants of truck tractors are being published, differing in wheel formulas. There is a modification of 4x2, 4x4, 6x2 and 6x4. Also, the models differ in chassis options and weight. All versions differ in bodies and attachments. In general, the concern has established a serious production. Needless to say, because these vehicles are assembled at a factory in Wörth am Rhein. And he is one of the largestthe world's largest truck production worldwide.
A distinctive feature that characterizes the Mercedes-Aktros models is the presence of an electronic technical control system called Telligent. Due to it, in real time, information is processed from various sensors that are installed on different automotive units. Also, in parallel, monitoring of real loads and, of course, the wear of the power unit, transmission and brakes is carried out. Thanks to this, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the nodes and increase the service intervals. This figure is now equal to 150,000 km.
Things to know
Everyone knows that Mercedes-Benz is the "number one" in the world. But this is in terms of cars. And what about trucks? In this regard, the company has also succeeded. Since 2008, it has been the first truck manufacturer worldwide to install (as standard!) a fully automatic transmission. And since 2010, the production of these vehicles has started at a production site in Russia - namely in Naberezhnye Chelny.
More than 700,000 copies of Mercedes-Aktros have been sold worldwide. And several thousand of them ended up on the territory of our country. Some are new, others are used. And the same amount was made in Russia itself. The most pronounced pluses are considered to be an incredibly comfortable cabin (in the best traditions of the company), an excellent automatic transmission, excellent handling, practicalstepless steering, soft air suspension and more.
Appearance
Few people know, but a billion (!) Euros were invested in the development of the Mercedes-Aktros car, the photo of which is presented above. In addition to money, it took a lot of time. But the result was more than worthy. This car boasts a lot of different innovations. Mercedes-Aktros receives only positive reviews - and this is not at all surprising.
Take, for example, his appearance. Designed by Bertrand Janssen. The brand new truck spent more than 2600 hours in the wind tunnel! This was important, since only through research it was possible to maximize the streamlining of the tractor. The better the aerodynamics, the more durable the truck. The developers of the Mercedes company understood this very well and achieved a good result. The Mercedes-Aktros truck turned out to be not only attractive, but also practical. Drivers are especially pleased with the steps - they can be folded from the lower edge of the radiator grille and stand up to wipe the glass. Another eye-catcher is the wide and sturdy frame. This is very good, especially when driving on broken roads.
Features
And finally, a few words about what technical indicators Mercedes-Aktros can please, the photo of which is presented in the article. New versions became owners of in-line diesel engines from the OM471 series. The 12.8-liter inline-six comes in four different variants. The least powerful produces 421 horsepower. The next in characteristics is a 450-horsepower engine. Behind him is a 480 hp unit. With. And the 510-horsepower engine completes the list of units. And they are controlled by a 12-band robotic gearbox. The rear suspension has four pneumatic cylinders. The previous version only had two.
The cost of such vehicles is from 100 thousand dollars - for new, modern models, of course. Well, in general, if you need a truck, then there is simply no better option.
