Mercedes-Benz ACTROS FAQs

• Is the Mercedes Actros good?

  While there are no shortage of options out there for truckies, the Actros is a brilliant machine that is sure to serve as the best friend to a growing number of workers on the roads. It's incredibly easy to drive, and it offers a remarkable level of comfort that would have seemed unimaginable some years back. Sporting an abundance of modern, sophisticated features, including state-of-the-art technology, the Actros is a savvy, powerful and capable choice of truck to tackle Australia's highways.

• What do the numbers on Mercedes trucks mean?

  Not unlike a number of other manufacturers that rely on their model name to convey the specifications of the vehicle in question, Mercedes-Benz has adopted a similar approach with its trucks, including the Actros. In this case, however, the first two digits of the model number specify gross vehicle weight information, while the remaining two digits specify engine power information. As an example, an Actros 2544 is 25 metric ton in weight, and equipped with a 440 horsepower engine.

• Where are Mercedes Actros trucks made?

  Just like the rest of the Mercedes-Benz range, the auto-maker's truck range is produced in its country of origin. That means Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks are manufactured in Germany, one of the leading sources for trucks and vehicles to the rest of the world. Of course, German auto engineering has become synonymous with everything that we love in cars, so it's no surprise that so many of those wonderful traits carry through to the Mercedes-Benz truck line-up, including the Actros.
