The new Actros F is particularly aimed at those customers looking for a functional truck but who do not necessarily need every new innovation of the latest Actros generation. Such customers want a truck with an attractive price-performance ratio and the authentic Mercedes-Benz Trucks DNA.
With the Actros F, a new cab version is being introduced to the Mercedes-Benz Trucks portfolio. The newly designed cab in the ‘streamspace’ or ‘bigspace’ variants with its 2.5-metre width and 120-mm engine tunnel height offers excellent spaciousness for its class and also provides the driver with a low entry and exit using only three steps. Available with a total of 17 different models and only as a left-hand drive, the Actros F is suitable for operation in classic and regional haulage, particularly as a swap body vehicle, dump truck or silo transporter.
The new Actros F comes with a ‘classic’ cockpit as well as conventional glass side mirrors as standard. In combination with the navigation system, climate control and several choices of optional equipment, there’s also the addition of the new, user-friendly 10-inch multimedia cockpit with multifunction steering wheel in the current Actros generation. The new predictive powertrain control is another optional feature that calibrates the automatic gear shift according to a topography-adapted driving style and therefore enables additional fuel savings in combination with a precisely tuned shifting strategy. The truck is equipped with fifth-generation active brake assist (ABA 5) and lane keeping assist, and it can be ordered with sideguard assist.
Production of the Actros F starts in April, and customers in 24 EU countries and selected non-EU markets can order this model.
