Gearboxes

Whatever the Actros model or its intended application, Mercedes-Benz provides every truck with the gearbox that realizes its fullest potential.
Mercedes PowerShift
Actros tractors and rigids for all normal duty, on-highway applications receive the latest fully automated 12 speed Mercedes PowerShift transmission as standard.
For everyday UK haulage and distribution work, Mercedes PowerShift provides everything that drivers and operators could ever ask for. For those requiring an increased number of ratios, a 16 speed Mercedes PowerShift is also available as an option.

Telligent® transmission
The manual 16 speed Telligent® transmission is standard for off-road 6x4 and 8x4 vehicles. This is because when running over tricky and uneven surfaces, fully manual gearchanging gives drivers the greatest possible control.

That said, fully automated two pedal gearshifts are also optionally available on these vehicles (either Mercedes PowerShift or AutoTrans depending on the model).

By carefully matching the right transmission to the right vehicle application, drivers and operators alike will get the very best from their chosen Actros.
