Mercedes Benz Axor

Mercedes Benz Axor

Strong chassis, high durability, high payload; hallmarks of tractors and rigid trucks used for mid-distance haulage and heavy-duty, local distribution. Reliable technology, long service intervals and efficient, torquey 6-cylinder in-line engines complete the picture.
Axor
The previous Heavy Atego range of Rigid Trucks and Axor Tractors have now been combined into one comprehensive range of vehicles - the Axor!

Axor with 170, 205 & 240 kW (231, 279 & 326 hp) engines are designated Axor-R

Axor with 265, 295 & 315 kW (360, 401 & 428 hp) engines are designated Axor-C.

- payload maximisation based around design solutions that help to reduce the vehicle's kerb weight: e.g. special frame, weight-reduced driveline, new direct-drive gearbox and optional Turbobrake

- low fuel consumption thanks to the Telligent® engine system: with electronic engine management for the high-torque, 6-cylinder in-line engines with displacements of either 6, 7, or 12 ltr

- peak torque generated in the low-consumption rev range from
1100 - 1300 rpm

- perfectly harmonised driveline for outstanding power transmission, incl. 6-speed overdrive gearbox (standard on 170 kw/231 hp rigid models), 9-speed direct-drive gearbox (standard on Axor tractors and Axor rigid models from 205 kW/279 hp) or 16-speed overdrive gearbox (optional on Axor models from 205 kW/279 hp)

- all manual gearshifts feature hydraulic-pneumatic operation

- low-fatigue easy gear changes with the Telligent® gearshift (optional on Axor models from 205 kW/279 hp upwards in conjunction with 16-speed direct-drive gearbox) or Telligent® automated (Autotrans) gearshift (optional on 170 kW/231 hp Axor rigid models fitted with the 6-speed gearbox).

- long service intervals: 100,000 kilometres for long-distance haulage, as much as 120,000 kilometres with the Telligent® maintenance system (standard on Axor models up to 240 kW/326 hp, optional on higher-power models)

- numerous components designed to last for the duration of the truck's service life, such as the hydraulic gearshift oil or the rubber suspension bushes

- low-wear, high-performance braking system, Telligent® braking system with brake-pad-wear equalisation available as an option

- short downtimes thanks to easy-to-repair design

- optional on Axor models from 265 kW (360 hp) upwards: the powerful Turbobrake engine brake, which is some 85 kg lighter than optional conventional retarders
