In an exciting advancement for the trucking industry, Mercedes-Benz Trucks has unveiled the new Actros L, setting a new benchmark for efficiency, comfort, and safety on the roads. Scheduled for ordering from April 2024 and production in December 2024, the Actros L promises to continue the legacy of its predecessors with groundbreaking innovations.
Featuring the futuristic ProCabin design, the Actros L not only provides a visually stunning exterior but also introduces significant aerodynamic enhancements. The truck’s elongated front end and meticulously designed aerodynamic features contribute to an impressive fuel savings of up to three percent. This efficiency leap is further supported by the latest generation of the OM 471 commercial vehicle engine, tailored for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
Safety takes a front seat in the Actros L, with advanced assistance systems like Active Brake Assist 6 and Active Sideguard Assist 2, offering unparalleled protection for all road users. These systems exceed the upcoming General Safety Regulation standards, showcasing Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ commitment to pioneering safety innovations in the industry.
The Actros L also elevates driver comfort to new heights with the ProCabin’s three configuration options—Stream, Big, or Giga Space. Each variant is equipped with luxury amenities such as optimized seat heating, premium mattresses, and enhanced ambient lighting, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
In anticipation of spring 2025, the Actros L will introduce the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2, featuring advanced digital services for an even more connected driving experience. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz Trucks continues to focus on total cost optimization with service contracts like Mercedes-Benz Trucks Complete, including the Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime system for enhanced operational efficiency.
Rainer Müller-Finkeldei, Head of Development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, emphasized the company’s dedication to offering superior vehicle solutions, stating, “With the new Actros L, we have further optimized our tried and tested flagship in many aspects. This is already reflected in the revolutionary cab design.”
As Mercedes-Benz Trucks propels the Actros L into production, it reaffirms its position as a leader in the heavy diesel-powered truck segment. The new Actros L is not just a truck; it’s a comprehensive package of innovation, efficiency, and safety, poised to redefine industry standards and continue the success story that began in 1996.
