When developing the new Actros, we called every aspect into question. The result: a reduction in fuel consumption. And particularly low total costs thanks to a range of closely coordinated services tailored specifically to the Actros. All for a single goal: to increase your profitability.
With significantly reduced fuel consumption* compared with Euro V, the new Euro VI Actros makes pioneering fuel savings possible in comparison with its predecessor.

With significantly reduced fuel consumption* compared with Euro V, the new Euro VI Actros makes pioneering fuel savings possible in comparison with its predecessor.
- 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.

A sense of well-being at the workstation. This is one of the essential conditions for a relaxed driving experience - the result of the development of the driver’s workstation in the new Actros.
- Newly designed workplace.
- Instrument cluster and multifunction steering wheel.
- Heating and air conditioning system.
- Stowage compartments.

All seats in the new Actros have been completely redesigned. The result: the adjustment range for the height as well as for the fore and aft position is greater, the controls are intuitively arranged and easily visible, and the seat cushions, having gained a full 40 mm in width, set a new standard in long-distance transport.
The new Actros comes standard with a luxury suspension seat. A leather seat finished to a high standard of craftsmanship is available on request.

A sense of well-being at the workstation. This is one of the essential conditions for a relaxed driving experience. And the result of the development of the driver’s workstation in the new Actros.
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.
