Daimler Truck is speeding up the electrification of its vehicle fleet: the Mercedes-Benz eEconic for municipal use is going into series production at the Wörth site in southern Rhineland-Palatinate. After the start of series production of the eActros for urban distribution transport in October 2021, the second model of the battery-electric Mercedes-Benz truck will roll off the production line in Wörth within a short time. The eEconic was developed together with customers and has been undergoing practical tests with customers since May 2022 following an intensive series of tests. The first series-produced vehicle goes to Urbaser A/S, a company active in the disposal sector in Denmark. Other customers have already opted for the series eEconic. The vehicles are to be delivered successively over the course of the year.
The new Actros – the safest, most efficient and best connected truck ever. Just in time for the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show (20 to 27 September 2018), Mercedes-Benz Trucks unveils the brand’s new flagship. Mercedes-Benz is showcasing a truck which immediately attracts everybody’s attention due to its new, characteristic light signature along the top of the headlamps and its futuristic-looking MirrorCam. The new Actros is a truck featuring pioneering innovations in series production which immediately pay off. The vehicle increases efficiency for business owners and comfort for drivers to a previously unattained level: fuel consumption has fallen noticeably while safety and vehicle availability have been increased further.
"The permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive system in conjunction with the V6 diesel engine will become available mid-2018. It will give the X-Class's handling a superior, clearly defined edge - for instance in wintry conditions. In addition, it enables better moving off and accelerating on poor road surfaces or in unfavourable weather conditions. The permanent all-wheel drive system features a two-stage transfer case, which is flange-mounted to the 7G-TRONIC PLUS main transmission. It is fitted with a central differential of planetary design, which distributes the drive force between the front and rear axle at a fixed torque distribution of 40 to 60 percent. Optimum traction is guaranteed by a continuously adjustable longitudinal differential in the transfer case, in the form of an electromechanical multiplate clutch. This ensures that the traction potential of all four wheels is fully realised on demanding terrain. There are three different all-wheel drive modes: 4MAT for increased driving dynamics, 4H for improved traction off-road and 4L mode (low range). The latter has a selectable reduction gear of 1:2.9 as standard. The top speed in 4L mode is 80 km/h. In addition, a 100-percent differential lock is available for the rear axle, if desired. The combination of a controlled longitudinal differential lock (0-100 percent), rear-axle differential and reduction gear delivers good performance both on- and off-road."
