Thanks to a more aerodynamic cab, fuel consumption has been reduced by 3%. Another 4% can be saved with the modernized OM471 engine.
The third generation of the 12.8-liter OM 471 diesel engine is designed to reduce Total Cost of Ownership without compromising on performance, driving dynamics, or comfort. It offers fuel-efficient driving, reduced CO2 emissions, lower operating costs, and higher returns. This engine is available alongside the OM 470 and OM 473 diesel engines.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks has introduced two new turbochargers with the third generation of the OM 471. In the version designed for long-distance transportation, the main goal is to achieve the lowest fuel consumption possible. In combination with the revised exhaust gas aftertreatment system, this turbocharger enables maximum fuel savings.
Mercedes-Benz Actros L (2024)
The Actros L is available with three cab options: StreamSpace, BigSpace, or GigaSpace. However, the Actros F and Actros SLT will be equipped with the old-style cab. While cameras are the default option, mirrors remain available as an alternative.
The new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck comes equipped with rearview cameras and an additional camera on the windshield, as well as four ultrasonic radars at the front and rear and one millimeter-wave radar.
The Actros L will be available for ordering in April 2024 and is scheduled to begin production in December of the same year.
