The new Axor. The Actros

Less weight, better ideas
Light in weight yet robust – thanks to an uncompromising reduction in vehicle weight,
the new Axor offers particularly important advantages in sectors where payload is the prime consideration.
Without any penalties in terms of safety and driving comfort.
A low vehicle weight, maximum robustness and optimum
driving characteristics. In the new Axor these are due
to the weight-optimised, torsionally rigid yet extremely
robust parallel frame. Stabilisers and twin-bellows air
suspension increase the payload, as they enable various
components to be dispensed with.
If an even higher payload is required, you can reduce
the weight of the new Axor even further. For example
New Axor semitrailer tractors with air suspension feature a twin-bellows air suspension as standard. In this suspension variant the shock absorbers
are positioned directly behind the drive axle. The result is extremely stable handling, outstanding driving dynamics and optimum roll characteristics
with aluminium compressed air tanks, a lightweight
fifth-wheel coupling or light-alloy wheels, which
are all optionally available ex factory, and the alloy
wheels also look particularly good.
Telligent ® level control ensures rapid raising and
lowering of the frame when exchanging demountable
bodies, semitrailers and at loading ramps.
Another comfort-enhancing extra available for all cabs
is the optional comfort cab suspension system. This
features additional longitudinal mountings and rubber
bearings to dampen vibrations caused by uneven road
surfaces even more effectively. Which relieves driver
stress. The sleeper cabs are optionally available with
air suspension.
