Colour schemes seemingly inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Formula One team’s livery, an illuminated three-pointed star on the grille, bi-xenon headlights, LED rear lights, roof-mounted air horns and Alcoa Dura-Bright alloy wheels with painted hubs identify the Actros1.
This special version of the Actros tractor unit – which is being aimed primarily at owner-operators – comes in 6x2 guise with a GigaSpace cab.
The standard equipment list includes leather upholstery, massage seats, a Premium Comfort mattress and an upgraded infotainment system. An electric sunroof, a microwave, a fridge and the Safety Pack are fitted too.
There’s a choice of two powertrains. The 2553LS variant features a 12.8 litre six-cylinder OM471 engine that develops 523 bhp (390 kW / 530 PS), while the 2563LS alternative boasts 616 bhp (460 kW / 625 PS) thanks to a 15.6 litre six-cylinder OM473 motor.
Sales are due to begin next month, but Actros1 production will be limited to just 100 examples.
