Teamwork in action: the chassis

The chassis is based on the principle of precise, safe and reliable teamwork between all components. With innovations like 2-bag air suspension or the integral rear, the Actros is equipped to handle transport tasks under all conditions.
Frame
Bright ideas translated into steel. That's the Actros frame, which boasts "ideal" weight, robust design and easy body mounting.

Integral rear
The innovative frame concept for air-sprung tractors, featuring rear-mounted batteries and air tanks, frees up vast amounts of space on the left-hand side of the vehicle behind the cab.

Suspension
With steel, steel/air or air suspension, the Actros meets all the demands made on a suspension system today, offering high roll resistance and handling stability, directional precision and superb traction.

2-bag air suspension
This innovative suspension concept for air-sprung 6x2 tractors brings important benefits for stability and roll characteristics, saves weight and also allows the height of the frame to be reduced.

Stabiliser link
The stabiliser link integrates two functions into a single component: axle location and roll control. In addition, this design also economises on materials and brings weight savings.

Steering
The power-assisted steering of the Actros ensures precise response and excellent directional stability. Whether the vehicle is empty or heavily laden, there is virtually no difference in the steering characteristics.

Brakes
There's only one word for the Telligent® brake system: exemplary. First and foremost the Telligent® brake system gives very short stopping distances. But it can do more than provide reassuring safety. For example it can also save costs.
