Unlike its German competitors. Mercedes has opted for the SCR/AdBlue route to emissions compliance. At the lowest weight is the Atego urban tractor. The basic Axor provides an unsophisticated fleet truck, often seen in supermarket own-account and distribution fleets. The 2543L 6x2 is the most familiar in Britain, having been specifically designed for the UK market. Its Euro-5 engine appears popular with environmentally conscious operators. The need to keep drivers happy has meant the Axor cab is now considerably better appointed than when first introduced, while the migration of the Powershift automated transmission from the bigger Actros is a welcome replacement to both the manual range change and Telligent gearshift predecessors. Essentially, this is a truck aimed at pleasing accountants.
