starting from today, I shall provide info of the Mercedes-Benz
Actros on a weekly basis..
BlueTec
(Advantages)
SCR diesel technology from Mercedes-Benz - If you want to be
prepared for the limits imposed by future emissions standards,
there is a cost-effective solution: BlueTec®, the SCR diesel
technology from Mercedes-Benz, designed for compliance with Euro 4
and Euro 5.
National incentives: In connection with the European
Union’s increasingly drastic reductions in the limits for emissions
many European cities have implemented driving bans for vehicles not
designated as being low on emissions.
Consideration is also being given to the possibility of extending
emissions-linked Autobahn charges to smaller motorways.
BlueTec® achieves significant reductions in emissions which can
thus result in toll savings and exemption from driving bans.
There are other financial benefits for BlueTec® customers too:
in many European countries you can expect tax breaks, and in
various European municipalities BlueTec® counts in your favour when
tendering for a public contract.

The advantages in
everyday use
In the long-distance haulage sector, fuel consumption makes up
the lion’s share of the lifecycle costs. Here, too, BlueTec® offers
outstanding benefits. Further developed engines make such efficient
use of the fuel that they not only have a higher output (depending
on the engine variant) but also consume significantly less
fuel.
BlueTec® also gets top marks when it comes to service intervals:
the technology is robust and requires only low maintenance. The
impressive engines fitted in the new Actros deliver greater pulling
power and efficiency – while offering potential fuel savings of up
to 3 % in the case of straight-six engines and 6% in V8
engines.
