Following the Atego policy, if it's above 16 tonnes it's an Axor. although a few Actros models still appear at the very top. All heavy distribution trucks now come under the Axor model banner with a 2005 makeover still keeping the 2.3m-wide cab looking fresh.

Though mounted higher on the chassis. Axor models share the same cab types as the Atego with a range of day, sleeper and high-roof sleeper versions on offer.

Power comes from the Mercedes 0M906, 6.37-litre, six-cylinder engine at 230 and 275hp, while for heavier applications there's also a 7.2-litre version of the six-pot unit offering 320hp.

A nine-speed manual transmission saves 30kg over the old 12-speed box.

Service intervals in Axor models are 120,000km.

Driving comfort has been greatly improved with the year before last's makeover, making a strong case for Mercedes as a selection in this sector.
