Engines: 69-litre 6cy1,236hp/925Nm,276hp/1,100Nm,322hp/1,250Nm Transmissions: LF 12spd automatic; ZF9spd manual (optional) Chassis: 4x2, bx2 GVWs: 13.005.008A, 26.0t %theebases: 3,525-5,475mm For a Mercedes-Benz above 16 tonnes it has to be the Axor, although a few Act ros models still appear at the very top. All heavy distribution trucks now come under the Axor model line-up with a 2005 makeover 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 day, sleeper and high-roof sleeper
versions on offer.
Power comes from the Mercedes 0M906, 6.37-litre, six-cylinder engine at 230hp and 275hp, while for heavier applications there's a 7.2litre version of the six-pot unit offering 320hp. A new ninespeed manual transmission joins the line-up, saving 30kg over the old 12-speed box. Service intervals in AX0I" models were extended to 120,000km. Driving comfort has been greatly improved with the last year's makeover. making a strong case for Mercedes as a selection in this sector.
