Technology – the archive

Innovations in the trucks from Mercedes-Benz

Nothing is as old as yesterday’s newspaper, but no-one can say that of our technology archive. Tried and tested and future-focused truck technology understandably explained – always a fund of information for anyone interested.
BlueTec®
Transport issue 3/04:
At the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show, Actros with BlueTec, the new EURO 5 compliant diesel technology from Mercedes-Benz, have been presented to the public for the first time.
SCR on winter trials
Transport issue 2/04:
SCR technology complies with the emission standards of the future, reduces nitrogen oxide emissions and lowers consumption. Even under extremely cold conditions, as ensured by the EURO 4 winter testing of the Actros in the Finnish tundra.
Euro 4
Transport issue 4/03:
Through SCR technology, Mercedes-Benz already enables compliance today with the emissions standard Euro 4 scheduled for autumn 2006 – and works at full stretch on the realisation of Euro 5.
Well sprung
Transport issue 4/03:
Quite a few technology features have been improved in the new Actros, for example, the bellow air suspension. Fewer components, easier maintenance and more payload – the two-bellows air spring system has decisive advantages.
Automatically safer
Transport issue 3/03:
Growing traffic density also increases the risk of rear-end collisions. It is increasingly important that technology helps offset resultant safety deficits. With Telligent® proximity control, the future of driving safety has already begun.
Systematic safety
Transport issue 3/03:
DaimlerChrysler, pioneer in matters of safety, is working on the Vision of “Accident-free Driving” and opts increasingly for intelligent assistance systems for the driver.
All in the balance
Transport issue 2/03:
Electronic systems such as Telligent® Stability Control and Telligent® Roll Control can actively ensure more safety and ride comfort.
Signal of safety
Transport issue 1/03:
It works like a never-tiring, always fully concentrated co-driver: if there is a risk of the vehicle drifting out of lane, the Lane Assistant warns the driver through an acoustic signal. More safety from the House of DaimlerChrysler.
