The New Actros - Seven New Core Innovations
-
MirrorCam
This new innovation offers the driver an increase in visability and safety. With huge improvements in visability to the rear and in the area of the A-Pillar, it almost completely removes the driver's blindspot - thus enhancing safety for other road users. As well as this, thanks to improved aerodynamics - MirrorCam can offer an annual fuel-saving of up to 1.5%.

Active Drive Assist
A milestone in truck development and manufacturing. The system orients itself according to the markings on the road by means of a camera, and under certain conditions takes over the guidance of the truck. Active Drive Assist can automatically steer, brake and accelerate the vehicle under certain circumstances.

Active Brake Assist 5
The fifth generation of the system assists the driver in that, under ideal conditions and within the system's capabilities, it can perform emergency braking when approaching stationary and moving objects, and perform partial or full braking for moving pedestrians, thus mitigating or even preventing accidents entirely.

Enhanced Predictive Powertrain Control
This intelligent system integrates a driving style optimised for the route topography into the operation of the automatic transmission and, in conjunction with the precisely coordinated shift strategy, allows fuel savings of up to 5% to be achieved

Enhanced Uptime
Uptime is a revolutionary telediagnosis operating system. It can detect critical conditions on your truck (i.e. a technical fault which could cause a breakdown) related to sensor readings at an early stage. This data is automatically shared with Mercedes-Benz, so we can alert you to anything that needs attention, providing appropriate repair solutions in good time - thus reducing downtime.

Fleet managers can access all of the available apps via a clearly organised platform and then initiate the installation process as well as assign the apps to individual vehicles.

For Dominik Böpple, CEO of Böpple Automotive GmbH, the innovations of the new Actros increase the competitiveness of his company:
"The new Actros signals a new era of truck construction: more connectivity and greater automation lead to greater efficiency and safety. We've already experienced this in the new Actros: the new MirrorCam, for example, doesn't just improve aerodynamics; it lowers fuel consumption as well. It also facilitates vehicle handling, so that minor damage hardly ever occurs. Times are indeed changing. We as a company have to keep pace. The new Actros has made our fleet absolutely fit for the future."
