With futuristic vehicle design, optimised aerodynamics, numerous comfort features, efficient engines, high levels of driving dynamics, and the latest assistance systems, the new Actros L has everything it takes to impress fleet operators and professional drivers alike.  

The objective: Continuing to be one of the pacesetters in the industry for conventionally powered trucks. The new Actros L with ProCabin can be ordered from April 2024 and will go into production in December 2024.

Rainer Müller-Finkeldei, Head of Development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said: “We always aim to provide our customers with the best vehicle solutions for all drive technologies. The traditional diesel-powered truck will also continue to be indispensable in the various regions of the world for some time to come. With the new Actros L, we have further optimised our tried and tested flagship in many aspects. This is already reflected in the revolutionary cab design.” 

New aerodynamic design brings about fuel savings of up to three percent. The entire shaping of the ProCabin, which was first unveiled during the world premiere of the battery-electric eActros 600 in October 2023, has been completely designed for particularly efficient aerodynamics. 

From the pre-spoiler on the roof in front of the actual roof spoiler, to the A-pillar deflector panels around the side windows and the large, flat front-end flap of the cab to the optimised bumper with minimal air inlet openings for cooling and its new underbody panelling. The airstream thus meets an aerodynamically favourable front extended by 80 millimetres and continues to be guided around the vehicle as optimally as possible. This is ensured by a streamlined entrance, improved wheel-arch trim and optimised side trim. There are virtually no gaps or spaces left in favour of an optimised airflow. Extended side deflectors have been designed like sails to ensure a good transition between the semitrailer truck and the attached semitrailer. The use of various seals to decouple the engine compartment from external airflow rounds off the aerodynamic concept. All in all, this results in fuel savings of up to three percent in the new Actros L.

With the new Actros L and its futuristic cab design, Mercedes-Benz Trucks simultaneously acknowledges the fact that, in addition to efficiency and cost-effectiveness, aspects such as an attractive exterior and comfort in the driver's cab also play an important role in vehicle purchases. Externally, noticeable details in this regard include features such as the full cab paintwork, including the Mercedes-Benz logo and lettering in Dark Chrome as well as the aluminium step plates. All lighting in and around the vehicle also features LED technology. This applies to the main headlamps and turn signal lights as well as the side and tail lights. Matrix LED headlamps are also available as an option for maximum lighting performance.

ProCabin is available in three variants - StreamSpace, BigSpace, or GigaSpace - offers numerous comfort features such as optimised seat heating, new premium flat-woven seat covers, or bunks with full slatted frames and a new, thick premium mattress.
