In the long run, only quality counts
Mercedes-Benz trucks have enjoyed a reputation for supreme power, reliability, safety and
economy for many years. No wonder that trucks with all these qualities are in great demand
specifically in regions where they are faced with extreme conditions.
Pioneering technologies Trucks of lasting value

Cabs:
More comfort. Better drivers

The Actros cab is impressive both outside and inside. Its striking design,
with bold styling, gives it an unmistakable look. The interior offers an
impressive standard of ergonomics, comfort and safety. There are the three
cab versions S, M and L to cover a variety of transport tasks.

Powertrain:
Robust and powerful

Engines are faced with the challenge of yielding top performance in very difficult conditions
in the Middle East. Mercedes-Benz’s V6 and V8 engines have routinely been accomplishing that task
for many years. Because they are eminently capable of generating the power required, but are
distinctly thrifty when it comes to fuel consumption. With power outputs ranging from 310 to 480 hp,
they are equipped for every transport task.
Exemplary 6-cylinder engines Outstanding 8-cylinder engine

The V6 engines with a displacement of 11.9 litres are The V8 engine with a displacement of 15.9 litres develops

but the 394 hp version is also used for long-distance traffic.

Powertrain:
Engineered for the Middle East

The other components of the powertrain as well as the engine are of course
designed to withstand the tough requirements of the Middle East region:
everything from the double-plate clutch and large-size cooling system to the
air cleaner and exhaust systems. This ensures that they continue to operate
smoothly however extreme the climatic conditions may be and however
difficult the terrain.
Strong: double-plate dry clutch

The uprated double-plate dry clutch with a diameter of 2 x 400 mm is equipped with
diaphragm springs. Its operation is supported by compressed air, which reduces the pedal
forces required and reduces the effort required when operating the clutch.
Well-spaced gearboxes Two versions of exhaust system

The basic version for V6/V8 engines is an all-synchromesh overdrive gearbox with Depending on the transport task and location,

No chance for dust
Dust in the intake air is a serious problem for the engine.
That is why Mercedes-Benz firstly uses a cyclone pre-filter
that already removes as much as 80 % of the dust. Secondly,
the filter papers used are much larger than those normally
used in Europe, to trap the remaining 20 % effectively.
A neat solution for engines that are already having to
work hard.
Keeping going for longer with dual cooling

To maintain full power however searing the heat,
Mercedes-Benz is able to supply an ultra-high-
performance cooling system. It covers everything
from the cooling duct in the pistons to the no-
maintenance fan boost system. Thanks to its ample
safety reserves, it ensures that the engine and
gearbox temperatures always remain down in the
green zone.
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MIDDLE EAST | Powertrain 11

Chassis:
Quality built to last

All chassis components, whether frame, suspension, axles or brakes, are designed to withstand the extreme conditions
that are commonly encountered in the Middle East. The way the components are matched up likewise reflects the harsh operating
conditions in situ: a robust basis for vehicles with a lengthy operating life.
As strong as necessary, as light as possible

The design and material of the Actros’ frame equip it perfectly for withstanding very
high loads. The longitudinal and cross members are 9.5 mm thick. The material used
is cold-formed, high-strength steel grade E 500 TM. With bolted and riveted joins, the
frame offers superb torsional rigidity. It also exhibits remarkable torsional flexibility
that helps it to handle off-road conditions when fully laden. Wheelbase versions ranging
from 3300 to 6000 mm are available.
When the going gets tough

Planetary drive axles are designed for heavy-duty construction-site or off-road use, as
well as for long-distance traffic with the 350 kW/476 hp engine. With their two-stage
ratio, they are capable of translating even monumental torques effortlessly into on-road
propulsion. Depending on the operating conditions, they can be ordered with drum
or disc brakes. Planetary drive axles are durable, reliable and offer increased ground
clearance – ideal for the conditions in the Middle East.

Electronics:
Intelligent technology prevents mistakes

Instead of resorting to basic mechanical solutions for the Middle East region, Mercedes-Benz
has been using electronics for many years. Successfully so, because the systems used
are not only reliable and safe. They also prevent operating errors and therefore protect the vehicle.

Concrete mixers:
The future relies on concrete

The very many challenging construction projects in the Middle East place huge demands on the construction materials.
It therefore comes as no surprise that the region uses the highest quality of concrete in the world. Substances
such as microsilica, which increases density, are incorporated into the mixture. Ice flakes need to be added to allow
the concrete to be installed at all, considering the extreme prevailing temperatures.

Waste disposal:
The next challenge

Rapidly growing cities, an expanding construction industry, large seaports and airports: all inevitably
generate ever-growing quantities of refuse that needs to be disposed of professionally. The process
normally involves two stages. The first stage involves refuse collection. In the second stage, refuse
is either taken to a sorting plant, where reusable items are separated from the residue, or it is taken
directly to a refuse incineration plant.

Logistics:
Logistics calls for reliability

Logistics is about meeting deadlines. Whether for local or long-distance deliveries, it involves more than simply
getting goods from A to B. Deliveries have to arrive punctually, and are increasingly required to arrive “just in time”.
That is in itself no easy task, especially in the taxing conditions that are encountered in the Middle East region.
Route
The routes that are relevant for logistics companies
tend to involve surfaced roads. They generally cross
the lowlands, so traction is not particularly critical.
Technical solution
2- or 3-axle semitrailer units, 4 x 2 or 6 x 4.
