- Auxiliary consumers - The savings potential that lies behind auxiliary consumers was also tapped yet further: for example the on-demand compressed-air control system, which saves fuel in overrun mode through well-directed provisioning.
- Tyre pressure monitoring system - Optimum tyre pressure helps ensure less tyre wear, lower rolling resistance and therefore less consumption.
- Optimised Aerodynamics - Aerodynamic detachable body parts, wind deflectors, cab side deflectors and side trim panels can also be ordered on request for all the new Actros’s cabs.
Thanks to a width of 2,500mm and 2,300mm and a length of 2,300mm, the new Actros’s cabs offer optimum prerequisites for virtually every application in long-distance transport.
- L cab StreamSpace (2,500mm wide)
- L cab ClassicSpace (2,300mm wide)
- L cab CompactSpace (2,300mm wide)
The newly designed driver’s cabs in the new Actros live up to this standard in every respect.
Thanks to its impressive floor-to-ceiling height of 1.97m and generous stowage capacity which doesn’t prevent the cab from offering ample freedom of movement.
A key component of the pleasing ambiance in the new Actros is the clear separation between workstation and living space.

- Newly designed workplace.
- Instrument cluster and multifunction steering wheel.

The new Actros comes standard with a luxury suspension seat. A leather seat finished to a high standard of craftsmanship is available on request.

The large door opening angle and long grab handles on both sides make it easy to access the cab. The new standard-specification step lighting* makes entering the vehicle easier and safer.Even more convenience comes courtesy of the new standard-specification step behind the cab.
