Mercedes-Benz Actros
The modern Actros truck has been developed to meet every demanding need of transport operators. With the introduction of the Telligent systems based on advanced Mercedes technologies for truck components such as the engine, suspension, braking system, and frame, the Actros sets new standards in the segment of heavy-duty trucks. The Actors' low fuel consumption and servcing costs increase its overall economy; the various resource-saving and emission control technologies contribute to achieving high environmental compatibility. The outstanding levels of safety and comfort allow for smooth haulage journeys.
The Actros powertrain range consists of newly developed intercooled turbodiesel engines. Compact and lightweight, the engines feature low fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. To provide high levels of economy and power under different operating conditions, an eight-speed transmission with high and low ranges(16 speeds)is combined with the innovative Telligent gearshift system. Thanks to that new gearshift system, the driver can select the gear optimally suited to driving conditions by simply touching the shift lever forwards or backwards. The Actros also offers exceptional cost efficiency and durability: the truck is designed for an overhaul cycle of roughly one million kilometers and requires oil servcing only every 100,000km in long-dinstance haulage.
The Actros is fitted with the innovative Telligent full air suspension system which provides excellent vibration characteristics for not only the cargo, but also for the vehicle, road, and driver. This system uses electronic control to maintain a stable vehicle position and, thanks to a level adjustment facility, increases the efficiency of material handling.
The Actros has a host of advanced safety features typical of a Mercedes. The ventilated disk brakes combine with the new Telligent brake system, shortening the Actros' braking distance. Standartd equipment of the Actros also includes ABS, acceleration skid control(ASR), and an SRS airbag/belt tensioner for the driver.

DISCOS Trailer System
DaimlerChrysler engineers have applied their high technologies for truck disk brakes and air suspension to the development of an innovative trailer axle system featuring high levels of economy, safety, and environmental compatibility. This system is called DISCOS.
The ventilated disk brakes employed in DISCOS Trailer System not only reduce the trailer's stopping distance dramatically, but also provide excellent anti-fading capability and allow a servicing interval twice as long as that of drum brakes. The air suspention is able to efficiently damp vibration and oscillation, thereby reducing damage to cargo and stress on the trailer body. The level adjustment facility increases the efficiency of material handling. At the same time this function maintains a constant vehicle height, providing a higher loading capacity than a leaf spring suspension.
The "Quick Align" function permits the axle to be installed at a right angle with the trailer frame. This alignment not only facilitates servicing, but also substantially increases fuel economy and tire life.
The optional Electronic Braking System(EBS) uses a computer to automatically control the brake performance that varies with the amount and arrangement of cargo. Thanks to this electronic control, EBS greatly increases the safety of trailer operation. It reduces the trailer's stopping distance and suppresses the critical jackknife phenomenon that may occur during full braking.

Unimog
DaimlerCrysler AG is launching new Unimog ranges which, from the point view of economy and technology, have been specifically designed to satisfy the changed requirements of industry, local authorities, the construction and energy industries and road-maintenace departments concering flexible implement carriers and poweful tractors.
•Excellent view
The outward appearance of the new Unimog generation provides evidence of the field-related orientation of the numerous innovations incorporated. The large windscreen, the low-edged side windows and a large rear window ensure excellent all-round vision. The cab made of lightweight fiber composite is characterized by great strength and anti-corrosion properties. The optional transferable steering system, Variopilot, in conjunction with the power hydraulics system, VarioPower, allows a single operator to work safely with and control several implements simultaneously.
•Comfortable Cabin
Inside the cab, the driver finds a workplace that leaves nothing to be desired with regard to ride comfort, equipment control and functionality. All important controls for the vehicle, the electronically controlled Telligent transmission and the VarioPower hydraulics, are combined in the center console. Comfortable seats with integrated 3-point seat belts, a heating and ventilation system and an air-conitioning system fitted as standard are further examples of field and requirement-oriented solutions integrated into the new Unimag.
•Environmentally engine
Propulsion for the new Unimog vehicles is provided by environmentally compatible Euro 3 diesel engine. They transfer their tractive force to the four permanently driven wheels by means of a fully synchronized manual transmission.
•Ideal gearshift system Telligent
Up to 24 gears are selected by means of the electropneumatic Tellignet gearshift system, that has already proven itself in Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty trucks over a period of some years now. With this system, the driver moves the gear knob forwards and backwards within a single gate. The appropriate gear is calculated automatically by the vehicle electronics and engagede by a pneumatic cylinder in the transmission when the clutch is depressed. The new Unimog series have permanent all-wheel drive with an inter axle differential. The differential locks-standard on the rear axle, optional for the front axle can be activated/deactivated while driving at any speed.
•For the heavy load
To assist transporting and towing heavy loads, the vehicles can be fitted with an optional torque converter clutch which offers power transmission up to 230hp.
•Versatile Implement carrier
The new Unimog ranges offer four attachment and mouting areas(at the front, at the rear, in the middle/on the platform and between the axles) with integrated interfaces to enable them to be equipped with an almost unlimited number of working implements that are required, for example, for the care and maintenance of the roads, for winter service or for use in the construction industly.
•All year round operation
Available for driving and controlling the various combination of implements are single or double-circuit working hydraulics with joystick control for up to eight implement movements. Also available are the VarioPower hydraulics for driving loads in the upper power range, such as mowers or sweepers. A mechanical live PTO shaft at the front end of the vehicle, with a power output of up to 204hp, comletes the range of equipment available. This ensures that existing working implements can continue to be used.
