Actros L with ProCabin
Next-level efficiency.
Design that pays off: The Actros L with ProCabin combines fuel-saving aerodynamics, comfort and safety – for even better efficiency on the road.
Highlights
Working and living under one roof.
Because every litre of fuel counts on long journeys: With its innovative cab design, the Actros L ensures even better aerodynamics. It is only sparing in terms of consumption – not in terms of safety and comfort. Numerous assistance systems give you that good feeling of being safe on the road. And because relaxed driving also includes relaxing breaks, the interior with its many comfort functions ensures rest and relaxation.
- Aerodynamics with style
- Comfort with significance
- Safety as a system
Simply efficient: the striking aerodynamic design of the ProCabin cab. It reduces the consumption of the Actros L by up to 3% compared to its predecessor1. Good looks that pay off – every kilometre of the way.
Simple to use: the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 with voice control and digital features.2 Simply relaxing: assisted driving at a high level with comfortable cab equipment.
Simply safer on the road: new and improved assistance systems such as Active Brake Assist 6, Active Sideguard Assist 2 and Active Drive Assist 3. They can detect people, vehicles and objects and help you to react quickly and appropriately.
Cost effectiveness
Efficient at first glance.
The 80 mm longer front end enables an even more aerodynamic design. Every detail of the ProCabin has been designed to divert the front air flow with as little drag as possible. The result: an efficiency increase of up to 3%1 compared to its predecessor. In combination with the economical 3rd generation OM 471 engine, this is the right choice for greater efficiency on long journeys. In this process, the engine generates plenty of output. Thanks to Top Torque, a further 200 Nm is available at the touch of a button – helpful on hills and when accelerating, e.g. when joining the motorway.
New drivetrain
Efficiency and comfort at a new level.
A remarkable difference. Thanks to the larger gear spread, the new G291 transmission11, together with the new rear axle ratio of the Actros L gives you a completely new driving experience.
The larger gear spread in the G291 transmission enables driving at lower speeds. This makes the truck easier, more precise and smoother to manoeuvre.
The G291 transmission allows faster gear changes in higher gears and thus ensures greater ride comfort and better acceleration characteristics.
In combination with the ProCabin, the drivetrain can save up to 4% fuel compared to its predecessor9.
The longer gear ratio ensures a low engine speed – and thus less interior noise in the cab.
The finer gear ratio enables more precise gearshifting. For example, when moving off and manoeuvring, the clutch is protected by faster frictional connection.
The longer drivetrain provides the driver with more comfort without compromising on performance.
Exterior
Good lighting. Better view.
The most important sensors at the wheel are your eyes. That’s why the Actros L makes no compromises when it comes to lighting. All lighting functions feature LED technology. Matrix LED headlights are available as an option for even better lighting performance. This gives you a clear view from behind the wheel – and everyone else an impressive sight.
Comfort
Everything at a glance: Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 22
The secondary display in the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 ensures an even better overview. You can use the touchscreen or switch panel to quickly and intuitively manage climate control, navigation, telephony, infotainment and more. You can also keep your eyes on the road and relay settings and commands by voice control.
Full power. Intelligently put on the road.
Comfort meets efficiency: Predictive Powertrain Control is continuously supplied with information about the route by the navigation system. At the touch of a button on the steering wheel, the system knows where you want to go. It can look ahead and release the throttle, accelerate and select the optimum gear in conjunction with PowerShift Advanced.
Almost like a motorhome: SoloStar Concept.
It’s best to drive relaxed. The optionally available SoloStar cab concept impresses with its genuine living space character: with a seating corner providing ample legroom, a table with a cutlery compartment, alternative seat covers and much more. Because your truck becomes your second home, especially on long journeys.
If you work hard, you should sleep softly.
A good bed is the best sleeping aid. And these facts are sure to get you a good night’s sleep: the bunk in the Actros L is 750 mm wide, up to 2,200 mm long and has a fully fledged slatted frame – with a one-piece, 110 mm thick, 7-zone cold foam mattress as standard. The 45 mm thick mattress topper is added on top. With this level of comfort in the Actros L, it’s quite right to say “good night”.
Even more comfort on request.
With the right equipment, your cab feels like your second home. The optional, 150 mm thick ExtraPremiumComfort mattress including topper, a second refrigerator, ambient lighting or a 230 V socket ensure even more comfort. And it pays off. After all, those who live and work in the truck day and night like you have to recover well during breaks.
Safety
Uncompromising safety: the assistance systems.
Safety is on board. The Actros L doesn’t leave you alone at the wheel. Numerous safety assistance systems are there to help you. After all, you’re on the road in a truck from Mercedes‑Benz Trucks – it goes without saying that you feel safe behind the wheel.
A step forwards for safety. The advanced version of Active Brake Assist is now even better at detecting obstacles and critical situations and reacts with appropriate measures – from clear warning signals to automatic full-stop braking. You will also be notified if the system is not yet fully active.
Safety on both sides as standard: the latest generation of Active Sideguard Assist provides even better support when changing lanes, overtaking and turning in complex situations.
Keeping an eye on everything: Front Guard Assist monitors the area in front of the vehicle and supports the driver with warning signals in the event of possible hazards – for moving off, manoeuvring and turning more safely.
Always alert: everyone gets tired on long, monotonous journeys – but Attention Assist 2 does not. The system can keep an eye on your concentration and recognise when you become inattentive or tired. It can warn you acoustically and visually.
