Management quotes

Stefan Buchner, member of the divisional board of Daimler Trucks and Head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks:

"With more than 60 innovations, the new Actros brings the future of heavy-duty trucks to the roads today."

"The new Actros brings innovations to series production which previously we only showed on our concept vehicles: Active Drive Assist, MirrorCam and numerous other innovations help to make the transportation of goods by road even safer, more efficient and more productive."

"Just four years since the presentation of the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 we are bringing with Active Drive Assist in the new Actros the first semi-automated assistance system to series production."

"Efficiency in the new Actros – that means costs down, safety and vehicle availability up!"

"The new Actros is already now equipped with what is technically possible and commercially worthwhile."

"The new Actros underpins the promise of 'Trucks you can trust' with application-oriented, durable technology, exceptionally long maintenance intervals and all our experience from more than 120 years of building trucks."

"RoadEfficiency at Mercedes-Benz Trucks stands for reduced total costs, greater safety and maximum vehicle availability. With more than 60 innovations, the new Actros effectively enables our customers to run their businesses even more efficiently."

"The most important new features on the new Actros are also being made available on our construction vehicle, the Arocs. Of Course, a reduction in total costs, a high level of safety and maximum vehicle availability are the key levers for commercial success in the construction business, too."

Prof. Uwe Baake, Head of Development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks:

"Besides enhanced comfort for the driver, semi-automated driving with Active Drive Assist offers one benefit above all: increased safety for all road users."

"The first MirrorCam in a series production truck underlines the fact that Mercedes-Benz Trucks continues to extend its leadership in innovation."

"Our new Actros is even more connected and intuitive to operate due to its Multimedia Cockpit. Thanks to its fully overhauled human-machine interface, our flagship model offers drivers a workspace of the future. The unique level of operational convenience and display comfort is compelling in particular. With two interactive screens as standard, all the relevant information are displayed at a glance and the visualisation of our new assistance systems is further enhanced."

"With the new and enhanced Active Brake Assist 5 Mercedes-Benz Trucks remains a pioneer in safety. This emergency braking assistance system is the only safety-related assistance system on the market to respond to persons with maximum braking up to standstill and thus increases safety for the most vulnerable road users."

"We are systematically availing the new possibilities opened up by connectivity to enable drivers and business owners to work together even more efficiently."

Prof. Dr. h. c. Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler AG:

"With its strong showing and force the new Actros is the most progressive Mercedes truck. It is clean in the sense of modern and with the new HMI in the interior it is really high-tech and digital. The MirrorCam and LED daytime running lights are stand-out features."
