Mercedes Actros details about fuel consumption

Test participants had very similar fuel consumption figures. However, the impact of four almost identical and equally heavy semi-trailers on fuel consumption turned out to be greater than the difference between individual tractors. A closer look at the resulting fuel consumption reveals a clear difference. When tractors go uphill, the Mercedes Actros 1846 LS and Scania R 124 LA 470 are the best and are about 2% more economical than the other two. The best average fuel consumption on a section with 12 climbs was obtained from Scania (107.9 l/100 km) and Mercedes (108.7 l/100 km). This is where the advantage of Scania's turbocompound technology comes into play. In addition, the power is 470 hp. develops an engine with a displacement of only 11.7 liters. Mercedes achieves good fuel consumption when the engine is running at full load, mainly at low engine speeds, but the speed decreases when driving uphill. Measurements of the fuel consumption of a MAN tractor show that it reacts more sensitively than the other three competitors at high speeds and at full load. On flat terrain, MAN and Volvo achieve the best results and consume approximately 0.5 l/100 km or 2 – 3% less fuel. Despite this, MAN takes the win with a slight advantage in fuel consumption. Results of measurements during comparative tests

Notes 1 – truck tractors from MAN, Scania and Volvo are equipped with a more powerful engine brake for an additional fee, Mercedes – as standard; 2 – all tractors are equipped with a fifth wheel coupling, a spare wheel, a fuel tank filled with 300 liters of fuel, a spoiler, side panels covering the chassis, 315/70 R 22.5 tires on aluminum rims; 3 – MAN NG 460 A and Mercedes Actros 1846 LS tractors cost 89 thousand euros, Scania – 90 thousand and Volvo – 91,180 euros; 4 – when operating 240 days a year.

If it doesn't feel like it has enough torque to go uphill, it will immediately change gears from 12th to 11th, with plenty of time in advance, and that gear will be used for as long as the system deems necessary. The direct fuel injection system with a pressure amplifier in the injector after modernization made it possible to increase the maximum pressure in the fuel line from 900 to 1160 bar, which led to an increase in the maximum injection pressure to 2700 bar.

Suspensions and handling

The batteries were changed and minor body repairs were needed due to the driver's carelessness, but the car was already morally outdated and I would recommend buying the car only because of the low cost. The driver's door also contains a switch grid that controls the mirrors, heating, auxiliary windows, central locking and locking system.

Review from the owner of Mercedes Axor (Mercedes Axor) 2002

Reliable, dynamic tractor for transporting large and heavy cargo. The steering wheel is light and the car is very pliable, the wheels can be twisted almost across. The engine is responsive and smooth! The car moves as soon as you press the pedal. The optics are 4+, you can see well and clearly, but with headlights in which the round sections for low beam are better visible.

The car showed all the comfort, reliability and ease of operation! There are buttons on the steering wheel (multi-steering wheel), a very convenient menu and pleasant switching. The visibility from the cab (not an unimportant thing for trucks) is 5+, the panel is low, the door glass is without pillars, the mirrors are simply wonderful, no one will slip by unnoticed.

Convenient controls, everything is at hand and nothing superfluous. The pedals are pressed pleasantly and effortlessly, the brakes, oh those brakes! They are simply wonderful! An empty car - press the pedal harder, with a load - you hit it a little, immediately a good deceleration. These brakes have forgiven my mistakes more than once! Thanks to the Germans - they worked conscientiously! And now the most important thing is the consumption and maintenance costs. Spare parts are not that expensive and are always in stock, and there is a choice by price - Turks, all sorts of analogues and the original. As much as anyone's pocket will allow. But the car will not sit waiting for spare parts and service stations; in Moscow alone there are about 5 dealerships, and I’m not even talking about different garages... Many stations have been opened in Russia. There will be no problems with repairs.

And another important fact is that Mercedes keeps the entire history of repairs and maintenance. You can use the VIN code at the dealership to check the history of the car (what was repaired, what was changed, and mileage).

I’ve been working on it for more than 3 years, during which time we changed the batteries, pads, oil, filter and generator, the bearings ran out. They revived it by installing everything original for 12 rubles along with the work.

Fuel consumption - I work in Moscow 40 liters, frosts -25 -30... 50 liters per 100. Driving style - I take all the power from the engine. On the highway empty with a trailer at a speed of 90-27l/100km. It’s possible to do less, but I don’t save. I'm going fast.

Mercedes Actros chassis... Cabin interior

Mercedes-Benz Actros 1844 LS tractor unit: characteristics The same applies to the case when the exhaust gas turbocharger becomes very hot due to operation at full power, for example when driving uphill. The Scania CP 19 cab, with an interior height of just 1,700 mm, was chosen because there is no intermediate cab size between the Topline and standard long-haul cabs.
Mercedes-Benz Actros. Maximum efficiency The Telligent braking system provides short braking distances through anti-lock braking system, ASR, constant 10 bar brake pressure and internally ventilated brake discs. In extreme cases, the amount of fuel injected into the first three cylinders can be reduced to zero, while the remaining three cylinders operate at full throttle.

Mercedes-Benz Axor: models, characteristics, operation and maintenance Owner's review

Fuel consumption of the Mercedes Actros As a result, on Mercedes Axor 1840 roads with difficult terrain, in mountainous areas, the fuel consumption of the Axor will be slightly higher than that of a similar non-budget counterpart with an optimally selected final drive number. The homeland of Mercedes Axor is Turkey, but development was also carried out in Brazil, and after its completion, production was established in other countries, including Germany.
  1. High comfort of heavy weight control;
  2. Relatively low fuel consumption;
  3. And also, maximum filling with electronics.

Mercedes Axor and its operating features

Mercedes Axor is a tractor developed by the Turkish division of Mercedes-Benz and occupies a niche between the Atego and Actros. It began to be produced in 2002 (in Germany earlier - in 2001) and since then the car has proven itself in many cities in Europe and the CIS. In Russia it is not very widespread, since it was created based on a warm and temperate climate. Mercedes Axor can withstand many adversities, and is also very economical in fuel and oil consumption.

The Mercedes Axor model range includes various tractors with a gross weight from 18 to 26 tons. In the Russian Federation, cars are delivered equipped with engines of 354 and 401 hp. Sometimes used models with engines from 400 to 428 hp come from abroad, which are very popular and have their admirers.

Initially, the Mercedes Axor was not in demand at all on the Russian market. However, the first model delivered to us was primitive. In total, statistics show that in 2003 official dealers were able to sell only 10 cars in the Russian Federation, in 2004 – 22, and a year later – 90 units.

Advantages and disadvantages of the tractor

The Mercedes Benz Axor has many more advantages than disadvantages, but first of all we note the disadvantages:

  • It is worth remembering that the car was not designed for cold weather, so this can cause you a lot of difficulties. As an example, it is worth pointing out that the Mercedes Benz Axor does not have heaters.
  • The gearbox is also poorly suited for our roads - work becomes difficult at starts and when climbing.
  • The front trailing rod end is not removable, so if it breaks, it will be necessary to replace the entire part.
  • This leads to another bad news – expensive maintenance. Original Mercedes Axor parts are much more expensive than we would like, so it is quite common to find non-original components in such cars.

The problem with fuel is also very sad - Russian fuel is not clean enough for the Mercedes Axor, so there is an urgent need to install additional filters. Also, the original bridge seals, based on multiple reviews, are completely unreliable.

The advantages of the Mercedes Benz Axor are numerous, I would like to list the main ones.

  1. All modern models are equipped with the same engine. However, it has a wide range of power settings.
  2. The cylinder block is a cast system that includes aluminum; the cylinder head is the same for the cylinders. The transmitting crankshaft is a forged, but at the same time high-precision element, which is reinforced with seven three-layer bearings.
  3. The system has counterweights that stabilize the engine.
  4. Gearboxes have up to 16 steps and are equipped with tunnel housings.
  5. Its carrying capacity, compared to its competitors and even its brothers, makes it stand out.

The ABS system is paired with Telligent brakes. The electronics of the Mercedes Benz Axor are very accurate and malfunction extremely rarely.

Load capacity up to 18 tons

Model range and modifications

The Mercedes Axor model range includes several cars that differ in characteristics and details. Total Axor 6 models: 1835, 1840 LS, 1843, 2536, 2540 and 2543.

Conclusion

Mercedes Axor is a profitable option for transporting large and heavy cargo for those looking for inexpensive cars. Owners note a smooth ride, good brakes and ease of control. However, new models are not suitable for cold Russian winters and roads, so they often buy already improved used cars.

Mercedes-Benz Actros 1840 Yellow-bellied

Review of Mercedes-Benz AXOR – Weighs little and carries a lot • Owner's review

Mercedes-Benz Axor technical specifications, price and photos For example, today's flagship Actros is initially a truck, but at the same time, under this name a whole series of tractors with different wheel configurations and load capacities is released. Thanks to this component, Axor brake service is kept to a minimum and the brake discs remain cool and fresh, fully prepared for any emergency.
High consumption - United Forum of Truck and Special Equipment Owners Reliable 12-speed Power-Shift automatic transmission with a tunnel crankcase, weighing half a centner less than a 16-speed Telligent gearshift transmission and 40 kg less than a 9-speed manual. I have not heard any complaints from any of the carriers about the single-plate diaphragm clutch with a diameter of mm with automatic compensation of gaps; it works flawlessly, like a Swiss watch.

pros

Excellent handling and safety.

Nice cabin and controls.

Reliability and ease of maintenance (in detail).

Selection of spare parts and many service stations.

Comparing with other brands, they simply don’t exist.

Hello. I am not the owner of Mercedes Axor 1836.2003. 360 l. With. mileage 270,000 km. and I don’t know how much those will cost. service and spare parts. If anyone is interested in a view from the cockpit, here it is.

Everything is relative. I worked for Iveco Eurotech and Renault Premium. Both have more than a million miles on them. Therefore, it is not entirely correct to compare. The Mercedes as a whole leaves the impression of a solid car, I won’t cling to little things like a small box in the wing, but I will describe a couple of noticeable shortcomings. Main! I don’t know what the designers didn’t think of. But! Doesn't handle the road well. Ruts (not even deep) and all sorts of irregularities. At above-zero temperatures, it’s still tolerable, but at least -1, at least -15, EVERYTHING! So tense! It feels as if the front steering axle is shod with “bald” tires. Even on a straight road with good asphalt, you feel that the car is not firmly on the road. (By the way, this is not just my opinion. Colleagues who have twenty years of Dalnoboi behind them, on different cars, agree with this.) In terms of comfort. The cabin suspension is poor. There is no comparison with Iveka and Renault. On the Axor, the front part of the cabin is generally fixed to the frame without any suspension! Like a Kamaz, tough. And the driver's seat. It’s good in itself, but it feels like they didn’t bother with it and adapted it from some kind of car where half a centimeter is 5 centimeters lower (Where the seat is screwed on). I am 180 cm tall, 83 kg. with the usual proportions, but even at the smallest level of adjustment (Height), it turns out a little high, and at the last level the legs don’t even reach the floor and the balls above the steering wheel! For this reason, most often the air on the seat is disabled. Well, 360 horses is not enough. Possibly because at our base all the machines have been fed “Shit#m” (SMT) since new and some of the horses have died. I compare it with Iveca 380 hp. s., BUT PEARL in the rises. so empty!

Although at minus 25, the Merc started up instantly, and the so-called “Solara” was almost like milk in color from the cold, but it digested it, sucked it down.

The Axor is probably not an expensive car and, with the exception of what is described, is a good one. And how well his box works! ASR helps on climbs, the differential is locked, the brakes are excellent!

Design

The eco meter is activated at speeds above 20 km/h or when the engine speed and gear engaged are not practical when driving at a constant speed. If regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is necessary at low loads, a high EGR coefficient of around 50 is set to increase the exhaust gas temperature.

Fuel consumption standards for Mercedes-Benz - AutoGRAPH In addition, the driver can use diagnostic functions and various settings, from an alarm clock to an additional heating system. The orthopedic mattress, for which the concern received an award from doctors, has already become serial and has a headrest; truckers will not have to create an artificial elevation for the head using a sweater or a second pillow.
Mercedes-Benz Actros Since the braking force of the spring energy accumulator cylinders may be insufficient to hold a loaded road train vehicle on inclines and slopes, you should use wheel chocks. With a typical annual mileage of 130,000 km for a long-haul tractor and a consumption of approximately 28.5 liters per 100 km and fully loaded, each Mercedes-Benz Actros truck with the latest generation OM471 engine saves about 1,100 liters of fuel per year and emits three tons less CO2 .

• During a short stop, I notice a belt retainer for the top shelf that holds it in a horizontal position.

The concrete rustles under the wheels. Due to the absence of white lines on the road surface, the Lane Assist road marking monitoring system is inactive, but the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system vigilantly keeps the distance: as soon as I caught up with a “sleepy” truck with concrete blocks (the Italians tested new tires), like an automatic voluntarily slowed down. And only after changing lanes was I able to gain momentum and overtake a truck with a trailer. In Russia, such thoughtfulness on passes is very dangerous...

Conclusions • Suspension and frame

Mercedes Axor technical specifications, description | Auto repair of passenger cars, ordering spare parts Further advantages are the front part of the frame, all parts of which are bolted together, so that the process of replacing them does not cause any difficulties; the location of the headlights on top of areas of the front fairing that are especially dangerous due to stones getting into them. The integral rear part of the body, included as standard in combination with the Megaspace cab, makes optimal use of the available structural space on tractor units with air suspension with a wheelbase of 3600 and 3900 mm; it can accommodate a tank with a volume of up to 1200 l; The installation of a hydraulic pump or compressor is also simplified.

Features of fuel engines for Mercedes

The overall design maintains the typical Mercedes truck lines. Rectangular, lightweight clusters sit low in the bumper and are covered in protective guards that highlight the truck's rugged character. The Axor is made from the same boxy sheet metal as its rivals, although Mercedes has tried to add some gravitas to it by adding a V-shaped grille and aerodynamic side vents that make the truck look a little more dynamic. The construction model also has huge ground clearance, which shows the off-road nature of the vehicle.

Cabin. Actros history

Fuel consumption standards for Mercedes-Benz - AutoGRAPH The rear part of the cabin is complemented by fairings to improve aerodynamics, but the rear part traditionally depends on the type of tow hitch and modification. However, he does not win in this discipline, since the internal noise is clearly higher than in the Scania and Volvo cabins, and the controls are often illogically located.
Review of Mercedes-Benz Actros 2018-2019 technical specifications, price and photos The cabin interior experienced serious changes in the fourth generation and in the fifth, and if in the fourth generation the interior still corresponds to the interior of trucks, then in the fifth generation there is no such feeling. The total cost of such a tractor unit in a fixed configuration or the so-called package version is 63,450 euros ex-factory in the city.
