Improving the performance of truck components, the Telligent system allows you to increase service intervals to 150,000 km.
Since July 2008 , Mercedes-Benz has been the first truck manufacturer in the world to install a fully automated gearbox in series (on the Actros model). Since September 2010 , Mercedes-Benz Trucks Vostok (a joint venture of KAMAZ and Daimler) began production of these trucks at the production site of the KIP-master in Naberezhnye Chelny .
Operation in Russia
According to the official website, the number of cars of this model in the world sold more than 700 thousand of which about several thousand new or with mileage hit Russia, the same amount has been made in Russia itself. The main advantages of these machines (compared with KamAZ) are high cab comfort, reliable and economical ZF automatic transmission (controlled by a three-position joystick on the armrest ), convenient stepless steering wheel adjustment, soft air suspension of wheels and cab, as well as the absence of a motor tunnel in the cab. The disadvantage of the first samples of the car was a weak suspension, poorly suitable for Russian roads. This has been eliminated in the new models. The disadvantage is the difficulty of repairing the V-shaped engine , as some parts are less accessible than in-line diesels of other cars.
