Compared to the preceding engine, this power unit saves up to a further three percent of fuel, lowering CO₂ emissions in the same measure. In addition, the Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) cruise control system can reduce fuel consumption by up to five percent.

With the introduction of the new Actros to the Euro VI emission standard, PPC and the latest generation of the OM 471 engine, average fuel consumption has fallen by up to 13 percent compared to the well-proven preceding Actros model.

Also economical and comfortable in municipal service

The Mercedes-Benz Actros has not only proven its worth as a long-distance specialist, but has also found recognition with customers in the municipal service sector. Thanks to flexible body variants, it is outstandingly suitable for winter service on motorways, or as a roll-off container truck, for example.

Optimisation of the overall vehicle in the wind tunnel has ensured low fuel consumption figures. It also has a further, so far unique feature: heating with residual engine heat utilisation.

The standard telematics system - which is deselectable - continuously evaluates the style of driving. The resulting data give the driver analyses and suggestions concerning the current driving style. An air suspension system as standard at the rear axle ensures maximum driving comfort and safety.

The speed-sensitive power steering operates precisely and accurately, while variable servo assistance helps to save fuel. Other available features include safety systems such as proximity control with a new stop-and-go function, Lane Keeping Assist, Stability Control Assist and the emergency braking system Active Brake Assist 3.
