Actros models in detail
With this event, Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses completes the launch of the Actros in November 2021: through a dynamic test with a specialized audience, expanding the product range with the presentation of the Actros 2545 LS/33.
This strengthens the brand’s commitment to offering reliable and robust trucks for the extra-heavy duty segment, in this case, introducing a new, more competitive product for scalability, 60-ton bitrenees and fuel transportation.
Although the Actros 2545 is a product positioned at the entry of the range within the family of this model, where the Actros 2548 with MirrorCam ® is also offered, it has all the same security systems that come as standard in the other versions, a standard of models, and also a very high interior equipment: Multimedia Cockpit with two 10” screens (one of them touch), comfortable driving position, 2.5 meter wide cabin with 120 mm engine tunnel and height of 1 .84 meters inside, which results in a wide interior space where one can comfortably circulate and access all the storage spaces and then rest in a comfortable bed of 2.20 meters in total length.
In addition, with the launch of this model important changes are introduced. First of all, the 3,250 mm wheelbase will be available as standard on both 6×2 versions, Actros 2545 and 2548. This will mean a great benefit, mainly for scalability, since long equipment (15.50 meters) can be coupled without exceed the maximum permitted length of 18.60 meters. On the other hand, the new Mercedes-Benz NFD R440 final axle ratio of 2,733:1 will also be available as standard, both in the 6×2 versions and in the Actros 2045, 4×2. This axle ratio, which is 4% longer than the previous one, provides a lower engine rotation speed and consequently fuel consumption is optimized. The impact on performance is minimized by the great power of its OM 460 BlueTec 5 engines, which range from 449 hp for the 4×2 and 6×2 versions to 510 hp for the 6×4 version.
Active Security
Since its inception, the Actros has always been at the forefront of safety, and this case is no exception. All the models presented come standard with ABS (anti-lock braking system), ASR (traction control system), EBS (electronic braking system), ESP (stability control), cruise control with distance regulation , lane departure detection system, fatigue alert system and driver airbag.
These trucks stand out for the innovative fifth-generation emergency braking system, Active Brake Assist 5. It operates by combining a radar and a camera, allowing the truck to react to moving pedestrians at speeds of up to 50 km/h. , making the vehicle stop completely automatically.
The Actros is a truck that once again endorses the brand’s promise: “Trucks you can trust”.
Model O500 RSD in detail
The O500 RSD bus model encompasses a high standard of technology and ensures comfort and safety for both drivers and passengers.
Among its details, the bus in the drive train, has a 12-liter OM 457 engine, with a power of 410 CV, Mercedes GO 240 Powershift gearbox and retarder.
The presented model includes in its intelligent safety technologies, an autonomous emergency braking system (AEBS), which generates that through a radar that identifies obstacles on the road and/or some risk situation, the vehicle applies the brakes automatically; a lane departure warning system (LDWS), which
warns the driver if the unit leaves the road unintentionally, through an audible and visual alert; an adaptive cruise control (ACC), this system maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, regulating the speed according to the limits pre-established by the driver, through a radar; and a hill start assist (HSA), which keeps the bus stationary on any type of slope until the driver steps on the accelerator, preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards when the brake is released.
In addition to these systems, the O500 RSE bus has a third steering axle that reduces the turning radius and provides less drag in curves, increasing tire durability.
After-sales, a distinctive service of the brand
During the event, in addition to a fascinating experience through driving tests on a professional track with experts, technical and after-sales talks were given by Trucktraining instructors on innovation in trucks and buses. Likewise, emphasis was placed on the 360° after-sales vision, where the customer is provided with a comprehensive service that encompasses the entire process in the life of a truck: sale, spare parts, services and maintenance plans, REMAN, financing and purchase of the truck. used by the customer as part of payment.
Once again, Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses has established itself as a leading brand in transport solutions and committed to its customers.
