Mercedes Benz Atego technical specifications, engine and fuel consumption

Features and Benefits

The positive characteristics of the Mercedes-Benz Atego 1218 truck include efficiency, while it is reliable and comfortable. It is equipped with a powerful BlueTec 5 engine, characterized by low diesel consumption. To increase efficiency, the installation of a start-stop system of the power unit is provided.

Van Atego 1218

The machine can be used to transport any materials. To ensure comfort during work, the manufacturer offers a large number of varied equipment, and this applies not only to the chassis superstructures, but also to the cabin. Compactness, controllability, cross-country ability, maneuverability are the main driving advantages of the equipment. It can be used in urban areas, for intercity transportation, etc.

Other advantages of the Mercedes Atego 1218 truck include:

• simple design;
• possibility of carrying out repair work;
• reliability and endurance;
• power and durability of the power plant;
• high-quality fuel system;
• the presence of suspension on springs.

Isometric van Mercedes Atego 1218. Photo But, like any equipment, it also has negative sides:

• Syringing of the kingpin and crosspiece of the driveshaft is carried out every 3 thousand kilometers;
• after 200,000 km you need to change the water pump;
• after 30,000 km it is necessary to replace the stabilizer bushings;
• quite high price of spare parts.

Long base

Even without specifying the overall dimensions, it is clear that my charge has a non-standard wheelbase. Only the length of the body exceeds 7 m. With such a scope, it is important not to forget to swing in turns at an acute or right angle. The body, with a height of almost 2.4 m, does not seem that big, but taking into account the frame, the overall size of the vehicle exceeds 3.5 m. This is also evidenced by a sign above the driver’s head indicating the height of the car with a superstructure - 3.55 m. The driver of a small truck can relax, and when driving under low bridges or arches, damage the superstructure. To prevent this from happening, a cheat sheet is provided.

The seats in the Atego are no worse than those in a passenger car, but the range of longitudinal movement is small. And the angle of the backrest is too small. It’s like sitting on an old school desk: it’s comfortable to sit up straight and stay awake, but you won’t be able to relax. With the given characteristics, you can only slightly move the chair back and forth - the short slide will not allow more. But the space is well organized not only on the driver’s side, but also in the front passenger area. The impressive size of the mirrors only seems prohibitively large from the outside. And inside you remember with gratitude the designers who took care of a good view of the rear hemisphere.

Six-cylinder diesel with a potential of 238 hp. for a 12-ton car it’s very good, especially in combination with an automated gearbox. If desired, you can change gears in manual mode, but during the test automatic was preferred. At least, such situations in which all the engine power would be required never arose. Next to the gearbox selector, under the right hand, there is a parking brake lever. Comfortable!

There are no problems with ergonomics at all. In the access zone there are not only controls, but also cells for small items necessary on the road. On the front console there was a place for both cup holders and a mobile phone holder - a requirement of the times. Door molding is very practical, although it cannot replace additional niches. The door pocket is not very deep, but quite roomy. The gray scale has a calming effect, and the absence of excesses sets the mood for work. It's time to quickly get comfortable and hit the road.

Second generation

The second generation of Atego began to conquer European and world roads in 2013. The exterior has not undergone major changes. The cabin of the updated Mercedes has become more like the heavyweight version of the Actros. This is noticeable on the front of the car. The cabin design remains unchanged. The new truck was recognized by its aerodynamic sun visor. The fairing was installed on the roof. Fuel consumption (average figures) is up to 20 liters per hundred. The fuel tank holds 125 liters of fuel.

Mercedes Atego 818 (2011):

Good model

I bought a used Mercedes Atego truck for personal use at the end of autumn 2013. At that time it had a couple of years of intensive use, but with one owner.

Brief description of the car and the repairs carried out

As I already said, I bought a used Mercedes Atego with a cargo body type in 2013 at a large car dealership in Minsk with its release date in 2011. Especially for working in winter conditions, I chose a diesel engine model with a volume of 4.2 liters (150 hp).

Only in the winter of 2014 it was necessary to completely replace some important components and assemblies, namely: water pump, brake pads, intercooler, main brake valve, engine breather membrane. The following summer, in difficult traffic situations (congestion and traffic jams), the air conditioner began to function more stably. At the same time, oil consumption approached almost normal values ​​in the interval from replacement to oil change. That is, I only added approximately small volumes of 1.0-1.5 liters.

Repair and replacement of these parts with diagnostics performed at that time cost approximately 2.5 thousand US dollars. This is quite expensive even at the level of a cargo gelding, but such repairs were carried out only once. Then for a long time (almost 5 years have passed to date) I forgot about the major repairs.

Advantages

The Mercedes Atego truck can be classified as a working class of reliable and hardy horses for the following main reasons:

1. 6-speed gearbox with robotic transmission (in automatic/manual switching modes). Considering that the specified engine power is 150 horsepower, the acceleration is noticeable due to the selection of gearbox ratios.
2. Fuel consumption was 17-18 liters in summer, 20 liters per 100 km in winter - this was at first, when I had not yet fully mastered this vehicle. Then I realized what style of driving this truck was most economical for me, and the experts also recommended raising the air deflector. After this, fuel consumption decreased significantly in the summer to 13.5-14.5 liters, depending on the degree of loading of the body.
3. A good roomy car body for 18ep, great help and assistance when loading and unloading from/to a cargo board weighing from 1.5 tons. The booth is also quite spacious - for 15 standard Euro pallets (placed in threes or fives).
4. The official car service center only offered to change the brake pads at the same time as the discs. But for this, at that rate, the price was set at an approximate amount of about 2 thousand US dollars, so I refused.
5. Although the car was purchased as standard from one of the official representatives in Belarus, after the end of the extended warranty, difficulties arose with repairs at dealership centers. I had to contact other organizations to resolve repair issues.

Flaws

As features when operating a Mercedes Atego car, I would focus on the following identified shortcomings during personal ownership:

1. This truck has a speed limiter of up to 90-100 km/h. On the other hand, with such mass and load, it is not recommended to drive more. I always tried to maintain the level of loading of goods, and I did not accelerate to the maximum values.
2. A couple of times before the repair, the left caliper at the rear jammed (once almost to the point of a direct attempt to catch fire).
3. A couple of times before the repair, the left caliper at the rear jammed (once almost to the point of a direct attempt to catch fire).

I want to sell this truck only for the reason that I wanted to buy an even larger vehicle. This happened due to an increase in the volume of loaded goods and the frequency of its transportation.

Mercedes Atego fuel consumption data Dimensions and chassis

• Quote

2nd generation • The second generation of Atego began to conquer European and world roads in 2013.

Engine

Thanks to the installation of a modern unit, the quality of the exhaust is improved; the indicator now complies with Euro 6 standards. An improved fuel supply system guarantees an increase in power, while the mixture is sprayed and completely burned. An SCR system is also installed.

The main characteristics of the power unit include reliability, endurance and long service life. Depending on your needs, you can purchase cars with a Euro-4 standard engine installed.

Fuel is supplied to the Atego 1218 engine using the PLD system, for which separate pumping sections are provided. In them, the injection element is located at a distance from the control and injection units, and there is a high-pressure pipe between them. In this case, the drive is carried out from the camshaft, and repair work is characterized by simplicity and lower cost.

Mercedes Atego 815 (2005):

Good model

I bought myself a Mercedes Atego 815, produced in 2005, in Moscow for my own use at my work at the end of 2013 and was pleasantly surprised. The car was in excellent technical condition. The only thing I did was repair and replace some components. One of them was brake pads; basically, the car was only diagnosed in order to timely prevent any major repairs, which could result in a fairly large sum.

During the repair work, I also changed the oil to ensure proper functioning of the engine. The car has a cargo body type, so it is especially convenient for use for cargo transportation. In the summer, the car had fairly low fuel consumption, namely around 17 liters per hundred kilometers. In winter it was a little higher - 20 liters. A comfortable body, quite an impressive help when unloading, the tail lift is designed for 1.5 tons. The engine capacity of the Mercedes Atego is 4.25, so it completely suited me in terms of power and endurance.

Advantages:

1. Over the entire period of using the car, I came to the conclusion that this is a very good working machine that will not let you down and is an indispensable assistant in everyday life. I bought it and I can’t say that there are any shortcomings in it. Therefore, I can safely say that this vehicle is indispensable for work and personal purposes. Since I used it perfectly for transporting building material and garbage during the construction of my dacha. And if you want to buy a Mercedes Atego for your own needs, then this car brand will be the ideal option for you. The vehicle has a limiter of 90 km/h, here I would like to clarify what is no longer required. During the entire period of operation of the car, I did not overload the car, as I took into account all the wishes and recommendations of the manufacturer.

Flaws:

1. —

Optimal cost of spare parts

During the period of operation of the car, not many spare parts were replaced. And I know the cost of car parts for this type of car. We can note the ideal combination of price and quality of spare parts. By purchasing original spare parts for Mercedes Atego, you will be convinced of its durability and reliability. During the period of operation, I rarely repaired my Mercedes Atego 815 and replaced spare parts. Having become the owner of the above car, you will be convinced of its versatility and irreplaceability. Many sincere connoisseurs of high-quality vehicles consider this car to be reliable, durable, inexpensive to operate and, of course, durable.

Disadvantages: Dimensions and chassis

1. It consumes little fuel, the fuel itself is cheaper than other analogues, it is spacious, reliable, with high power thrust.

Optimal cost of spare parts • Extended with 1 berth and increased height.

Chassis

When developing the Atego 1218 frame, the basic requirements for such equipment were taken into account. The supporting frame is two-sectional, the front part is represented by a pair of spars located at an angle and having a zigzag profile. With a low frame height, only one step can be used to access the cabin, due to the possibility of lowering. The advantages of this arrangement also include the possibility of more compact placement of units.

To protect against corrosion, mounting holes are provided in production, after which the surface of the frame is coated with a primer. These holes are spaced at 50mm intervals, allowing any type of superstructure to be used without the need to drill individual holes. You can also attach a larger fuel tank, muffler, and battery to the frame of a Mercedes Atego 1218 truck. This makes it possible to pre-assemble the body and then install it as a large module in a short time.

Single-stage rear axles are durable, do not require repairs and, thanks to the hypoid transmission, are characterized by low noise. Depending on the needs, different sets of gear ratios can be installed.

What is the justification for buying a car on the secondary market?

This truck is not for those looking to save money on the aftermarket. Analysis of the prices of trucks of this class indicates a disadvantageous position of Atego relative to its competitors. But the high residual value has its reasons.

1. Fuel consumption can range from 15 to 24 l/100 km. The decisive factor is the condition of the internal combustion engine. Cleaning and adjusting the valve, cleaning the injection pump significantly reduces fuel losses. A strong headwind increases resistance and load, which results in additional losses of up to 2 liters. Fully loading the truck also increases consumption by 3-7 l/100 km. Having a properly shaped roof spoiler will reduce fuel consumption by 5-7%.
2. Mercedes-Benz Atego is equipped with six or nine-speed gearboxes. Both boxes are considered highly reliable. Their high-quality assembly rarely attracts the attention of repairmen. But you shouldn’t start the transmission and ignore generally accepted routine maintenance.
3. High-quality materials are used in the manufacture of tail lifts. The cylinders are protected by reliable corrugations made using wear-resistant fabrics. Even long-term operation of the hydraulic mechanism retains its original technical condition.
4. Durable parabolic springs are able to withstand a reasonable overload. Good ground clearance is achieved thanks to the well-chosen shape of the front beam.
5. Complaints about expensive parts are well founded. But replacing them is almost never required. However, savings on consumables will definitely have an impact. Mercedes-Benz Atego prefers original filters. This is the very minimum that will ensure long-term maintenance-free operation of equipment for the longest period.

Reviews of Mercedes Atego 1223 and 1222

Mercedes Atego 1223, mileage – 870 thousand km

We took an Atego with mileage, although the mileage (390 thousand) was only in Germany. I was attracted by the relatively low price and availability of the service. For the first 120 thousand km nothing happened. Breakdowns began after 550 thousand km. It seems to me that 500 thousand is the strength life of most Atego parts. With a difference of 10-30 thousand km, the viscous coupling, clutch, injector nozzles, brake modulators (I didn’t have to change them - I sorted them out with my own hands) and almost all the shock absorbers, including those from the cabin, failed (hello to Russian roads).

Repair is easier than some analogues. Almost everything can be done with your own hands, except electronics. The wheel can be removed in 10 minutes. Unlike MAZs, go through technical inspection. Inspection after your own repair is quite possible. The electrical wiring is not installed very well - it rots, but these parts can be changed yourself. Excellent control, dynamic engine, flawless operation in cold weather. If you fill up with normal diesel fuel and don’t carry 7 tons, the Mercedes Atego 1223 is simply an indestructible car.

Mercedes-Benz Atego 1222, mileage - 180 thousand km.

The choice towards Mercedes is associated with the availability of parts and a long service interval. Maintenance is required every 30 thousand km. Costs 17-19 thousand rubles. Eats approximately 19-21 liters per 100 km. The second factor was the comfortable cabin. In the Mercedes Atego 1222, a lot is done humanly, without unnecessary problems. Plus, a dashboard similar to that of the Axor is offered. The dealer found an option with a 50 cubic meter euro blind. An excellent option for long and short distance transportation.

In winter, consumption can increase to 22-23, but both in winter and in summer the car can and should be loaded to the limit. We often carry 6-7 tons, without any serious breakdowns so far. The only downside I can mention is the high prices.

Photo of the new Mercedes Atego 1224: not the last word in the popularity of the car - the good design of the car, which became a calling card after the 2004 restyling.

Mercedes Atego: fuel consumption per km, owner reviews

The cabin design remains unchanged. The new truck was recognized by its aerodynamic sun visor. The fairing was installed on the roof. Fuel consumption averages up to 20 liters per hundred. The fuel tank holds liters of fuel.

Real reviews of Mercedes Atego fuel consumption per km Summarizing the entries of many forums where subscribers share their observations, we can say that a Mercedes Atego on average consumes from 18 to 21 liters of diesel per hundred. There are some drivers whose consumption per km is 17 liters.

In this case we are talking about a refrigerator with a lifting side of 13 tons. Several subscribers indicate that diesel fuel consumption per hundred km is 24 liters. Unfortunately, there is no information about the engine power, the load capacity of the car, and the year of manufacture is not indicated. I have a Mercedes Ategorefrigerator booth.

Issue date - year.

The vehicle is capable of transporting 2 tons of cargo. I wanted to buy a Kupava refrigerated van with a ZMZ engine. Gasoline consumption is 15.8 liters per km. I consulted with the guys and changed my mind. I purchased Daily 50c13 2. I can’t determine the consumption figures yet. But I will definitely do it and write back.

Flaws:

Despite the fairly powerful positions of domestic truck manufacturers, imported trucks are a fairly common sight on our roads. Good model Four years ago I bought my horse, a 1998 Mercedes Atego 815, the car was not cheap, about 1.2 million, since this model does not lose much in value after many years of use, it was driven before me for 6 years, I used it one owner, but on city roads, the body was not overloaded, they carried ice cream, the mileage was 420,000 km.

Driver's cabin

The cabin is installed:

• standard S;
• extended L;
• elongated, with increased height.

This component is an analogue of the cabin installed on the Axor model. This provides more comfortable working conditions, unification of units in the cabin, etc. Depending on the selected type, optional controls are defined.

The interior is ergonomic, which guarantees safety, because... the driver can focus on the road. The installation of large glasses and mirrors with additional reflectors also has a positive effect on this factor. There is a step to enter the salon, and handrails are located on either side of the door.

The Atego 1218 cabin is equipped with a seat on a damping air suspension. Optionally, you can install a passenger seat of this type or order improved seats. For operator convenience, a large cabin volume and the ability to move freely around it are provided. The extended cab interior is equipped with one or two sleepers and plenty of storage space.

Chassis Atego 815 Dimensions and chassis

• standard;
• standard with increased length (by 180 mm);
• elongated;
• extended with increased height (up to 1910 mm).

Advantages: – Dimensions and chassis

In the event of a leak at the junction of the engine and gearbox, the question arises where exactly the leak comes from, causing such a huge number of problems. The Telligent principle is thus used in almost all vehicle systems: engine management system, cruise control, air suspension control, anti-theft system, gear shift system, brake system, programmable module, navigation systems, maintenance system, various security systems.

Fuel efficiency of Mercedes trucks

Mercedes-Benz freight transport vehicles occupy the first position in the list of freight transport intended for the logistics of goods and products weighing several tons. One of the main indicators of the success of this brand in the car market is efficiency, which not every brand can compete with yet. The low fuel consumption of Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty vehicles was confirmed by victories in the so-called “fuel duels”, during which the daily fuel consumption limit was calculated.

Possible subjective factors were not taken into account in the tests, and the equipment of the cars was the same. All entries were equipped with the Actros StreamSpace cabin, Predictive Powertrain Control cruise control system and the optional FleetBoard package. Transport companies were invited to the competition, which made it possible to obtain the most objective results. Many representatives of logistics organizations are interested in the benefits of Mercedes-Benz Actros, so the required number of volunteers was recruited in a short time.

In the final of 750 tests, which were carried out in 22 different countries, representatives of the German brand's products took leading positions in most parameters, and one of the most striking indicators was low fuel consumption. Compared to its competitors, the Mercedes-Benz Actros showed savings results that were 11% greater than those of its rivals, which is currently an absolute record in this vehicle segment.

Such indicators were achieved thanks to effective decisions of the developers and specialists involved in the creation of the trucks. The design of the brand's representatives uses a Euro VI engine, a Powershift 3 transmission, and a Predictive Powertrain Control system. Serious fuel savings are achieved due to the fact that the gearbox operates in automatic mode, the cruise control system independently determines the best gear based on the possible speed limit and by assessing the topography of the terrain being overcome, coupled with the weight of the car itself.

Fuel consumption Mercedes Actros

Let's try to analyze why the fuel consumption of Mercedes Actros is more economical than that of heavy trucks of other brands. Low consumption rates are influenced by the innovative rear axle guide, which sets high-quality stability according to the course, prevents excessive roll and makes the car easy to control on difficult roads and when turning. The car is equipped with bi-xenon high beam headlights, which also reduces the fuel consumption of the Mercedes Actros, as they require less energy consumption. The reduced weight of the truck itself also affects the amount of fuel consumed, since the installed aquaretarder weighs much less than the oil unit. The 12-speed gearbox ensures that it takes minimal time to change gears and switch to the selected driving mode. Thus, friction losses on the rear axle are reduced, which also affects the amount of fuel consumed.

Mercedes Axor fuel consumption

The following points affect the reduced fuel consumption of Mercedes Axor:

• The truck's developers equipped it with a high-quality six-cylinder engine.
• The weight of the car was reduced with the expectation of reducing the fuel consumption of the Mercedes Axor.
• Specialists thought through the design of the power line to optimize the operation of the transmission. The cars are equipped with manual transmissions with variations in the number of speeds: 6,9 and 16.
• The trucks have a Powershift option and a stop-start system.

Such innovations in the equipment of heavy trucks make it possible to make driving a vehicle transporting multi-ton cargo comfortable and economical.

Fuel consumption Mercedes Аtego

Atego model trucks weigh from 6 to 16 tons and are suitable for work both in the city, on a construction site, and in difficult terrain. Heavy trucks are reliable and economical. The fuel consumption of Mercedes Аtego is minimal thanks to the following technical solutions of the designers. The vehicles are equipped with BlueTec engines designed for maximum economy. Automatic gear shifting through the Telligent system makes it possible to use the clutch less frequently and, in combination with the stop-start system, this can significantly reduce the fuel consumption of the Mercedes Atego. The car, like other representatives of this class of trucks, is environmentally friendly and manageable.

Despite the fact that Mercedes-Benz cars seem absolutely impervious to damage and have a large number of advantages, they, like other cars, require timely service. Zvezda Truck Komi LLC is the official dealer of Daimler KAMAZ Rus in the Komi Republic, here you can purchase spare parts for Mercedes trucks, as well as carry out diagnostics and necessary repairs of Mercedes trucks.

Steering and instrument panel

The Mercedes Atego 1218 truck is equipped with a combined instrument panel, which, after starting the engine, conducts system diagnostics. It displays data on the amount of fuel in the tank, engine oil, coolant and brake life.

The mirrors are controlled from the interior; on the same panel you can turn on their heating. An option is the installation of automatic windows, central locking and a lock drive system. Thanks to the spherical ventilation deflector, fogging of the side windows is completely eliminated. The steering column is equipped with a hydraulic booster, which ensures ease of control. The interaction of the systems is ensured by the on-board computer.

Atego is a rare visitor to the car service center

In the Russian cargo transportation market, Mercedes-Benz Atego is used mainly as a carrier for insulated vans and refrigerators. Durable equipment carries out both intracity cargo transportation and work on intercity routes with equal ease. Therefore, you should not look on the secondary market for a Mercedes Atego that has just arrived from Europe, with a mileage of less than 500 thousand km.

At the same time, Atego trucks are not very often put on capital stock. Numerous online reviews confirm the efficiency, reliability and endurance of the German truck. The machine is capable of faithfully serving its Russian owner for a long time, subject to full and regular maintenance using consumables of proven quality. There is no need to complain about the lack of original spare parts. Reputable service points have in stock the entire list of materials and spare parts necessary for routine repairs.

They are supplied directly from Germany, where there is a dense network of auto component manufacturers, each of which has mastered the production of a wide range of spare parts for the popular Mercedes-Benz Atego in Europe.

Technical characteristics of Mercedes Atego 1222 / 1224

10 years ago, the Mercedes Atego 1223 was discontinued, but even trucks from the first year of production (1999) in good condition are still found on the secondary market. The car really has a safety margin, although many drivers rate it approximately the same as the products of Mercedes Trucks' main competitor - MAN. However, the Atego 1223 has a slight advantage in the availability and cost of parts, which is why this car has a better position in the used format.

Unlike the cheaper version of the MAN L tractor - the Belarusian MAZ-4370 medium-duty truck - the Mercedes Atego has a modern panel with rich vehicle control and diagnostic capabilities. In particular, this makes the inspection process a little easier: you can buy a Mercedes Atego 1223 based only on the dashboard. In turn, it is recommended to start diagnostics with electronics, since failures in it can give rise to new ones and hide current problems of the transmission, suspension, and engine.

Atego 12 Series engines

The 1223rd model works with motors OM 906.915 and OM 906.910. These are proven and reliable diesel engines with a power of 170 kW (231 hp). Apart from the fact that they are a little outdated, their performance can be considered quite good, and in terms of durability they are the main advantage of the car. The new options installed on the Mercedes Atego 1222 are distinguished by cleaner exhaust and better efficiency, but the power characteristics and torque distribution remain within the same limits.

The efficiency and reliability of Atego engines attracts many buyers, but the performance characteristics of the engine add just as many points of popularity.

The Mercedes Atego 1224 is equipped with a six-cylinder version of this engine, producing a maximum of 238 hp. The four cylinders OM 924.920 on the Mercedes Atego 1222 produce 218 hp. At the same time, the torque of both engines is almost the same: maximum – 810 and 850 N∙m in the range of 1200-1600 rpm.

• Compression ratio – 17.4:1.
• Engine capacity is 4.8 (R4) and 6.37 liters (R6).
• Environmental friendliness - Euro 6 with the latest version of BlueTech (Atego 1223 engines - Euro 3).

More on the topic: Model range of the Gazelle family

Significant savings can be achieved with the Telligent® engine management system, but this part is not a feature of the Atego 1222 and Mercedes Atego 1224, since it is installed on all cars in the series. Also, as for other Atego, the 1222 and 1224 are offered as an option with the installation of a start-stop system, which allows more precise dosing of the load on the engine.

Dimensions and chassis

As with all Atego 1222 and 1224, there are several types of cabins available. The standard version assumes the following dimensions:

• External width - 2295 mm;
• Internal width - 2000 mm;
• External length - 1650 mm;
• Internal height - 1510 mm.

The extended length of the standard cabin has the same geometric characteristics in height and width, but is longer - 1830 mm in external measurement. Cabin dimensions affect weight distribution; there are differences between models:

• Permissible vehicle weight – 11.9 tons (Mercedes Atego 1224, 1222 and 1223);
• Axle distribution – 4.4 on the front axle, 8.1 tons on the rear.
• The maximum weight of the road train is 22 tons for Atego 1222 and 1223, 28 tons for Atego 1224 (due to better engine characteristics).

The maximum length of the 12th series is 9865 mm; 8235 mm of them can be allocated for placing cargo. In terms of equipment, Mercedes offers many ready-made options, among which we can highlight the installation of a tipper body and a tipper structure with the possibility of three-way unloading. Refrigerators, cranes, etc. are being installed.

The multifunctional frame of Atego 1223 and Atego 1222 allows the installation of all types of superstructures; several length options are available.

Equipment Atego 1222 and 1224

For obvious reasons, much of what can be seen in the modern version of 12-tonne engines is not present in the Mercedes Atego 1223. Used cars for the most part simply do not need these options, but some would have come in handy in any case.

Fuel consumption standards for Mercedes trucks

Despite the fairly powerful positions of domestic truck manufacturers, imported trucks are a fairly common sight on our roads.

Often, adherents of German quality and reliability choose Mercedes trucks.

Like other trucks, the fuel consumption of each individual truck plays a fairly important role, which largely determines the profitability of its use.

Let's take a look at the table of consumption rates for some Mercedes trucks.

It should be taken into account that fuel consumption rates may increase depending on the vehicle load, as well as its operating conditions (negative temperatures, cross-country ability).

At the same time, increased fuel consumption by a truck may indicate a malfunction of the vehicle, in connection with which it should be diagnosed and, if necessary, repaired.
