This latest generation of Mercedes Benz Actros trucks was launched in the marketplace in Spring 2003. Always transport hefty lots over long distances, these models change from their predecessors primarily in regards to safety, operating costs and driver comfort. The most significant developments are to be based in the drive cab interior (built to satisfy even the many demanding truckers), the ever-more effective engines therefore the technical improvements designed to the drive axle. Externally, the latest Actros trucks are characterised by the radiator grill, which have the fins set more widely apart to boost ventilation plus the new lights with super-clear casings and variable-focus reflectors. All Actros machines are associated with brand new V-type Series 500: the V8 motor installed on 1854 LS version provides from 503 to 578 HP.
