The new Atego. The new Axor

The new Atego and the new Axor are even more appealing and comfortable than their predecessors. Not to mention as reliable and as economical as ever. With a new, distinctive front end. Plus a wealth of additional, practical details designed to further enhance workplace comfort and ride comfort in short- radius distribution from 6.5 to 26 t. In the city or on country roads – and wherever the new Atego and the new Axor make working easier and more efficient. Step inside and take a look!

Rigorously enhanced for even better performance – the new Atego and the new Axor

5The new Atego | Short-radius distribution 6.5 – 16 t

Perfect in tight situations. When working in the city or against the clock. The new AtegoAgile, manoeuvrable and ready for anything – the new Atego meets practically every requirement in short-radius distribution from 6.5 to 16 t. Because it combines traditional strengths with new benefits. Day after day. Economically, reliably and safely.

At home in the city – the new Atego keeps you well ahead of the competition because, as well as displaying all the positive aspects that made its predecessor such a resounding success, it also offers a wealth of new, practical details that make tough short-radius- distribution work easier and more efficient: from the new-look, distinctive radiator grille to the multifunc-tion steering wheel and the new floor mats available as an ex- factory option – you’ll want it all. And now you can have it all.

The Atego’s excellent economy is once again due in no small part to its fuel-efficient, reliable Euro 5 engines. As an option, the new Atego is also available with engines that comply with the stringent EEV emissions standard1). But that’s not all: the optionally available engine start/stop system2) offers further potential for savings when it comes to both fuel consumption and emissions, as it stops the engine automatically at red lights or in stop-and-go

traffic, for example, before restarting it when you’re ready to move off again.

The strengths of the new Atego are not just limited to low fuel consumption, however. Exceptionally long maintenance intervals, highly reliable components, and the resulting low maintenance and repair costs make the new Atego a force to be reckoned with. Especially when it comes to your bottom line.

Enhanced safety, enhanced ride comfort, lower costs. With the new, optionally available retarder3) on board, the new Atego can be even more efficient and cost- effective on the road.

In short, the new Atego keeps you ahead of the game in short-radius distribution from 6.5 to 16 t – especially when space or time is tight. And in terms of cost- effectiveness and environmental compatibility.

1) Atego developing 130 kW (177 hp) or 160 kW (218 hp) –

further EEV engines will be available successively from 12/2010 onwards

2) Optionally available in conjunction with manual gearshift3) Expected to be available from 05/2011

For lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions: the optionally available

engine start/stop system2) can help reduce consumption and, therefore,

ease the burden on the environment

7The new Axor | Short-radius distribution 18 t and above

A heavyweight performer – not just when it comes to cargo carrying. The new AxorBetter still, the new Axor combines familiar strengths such as high payload, low fuel consumption and exemplary reliability with a wealth of new details and equipment items that pay dividends for operators and drivers alike. On every trip.

The very essence of heavy-duty short-radius distribution – with a low kerb weight, high economy and a wealth of new equipment details, the new Axor for short-radius-distribution applications of 18 t and above is sure to put smiles on faces. Thanks to its exterior appearance, including a new radiator grille that further enhances its looks. And thanks to its inner values such as perfect ergonomics, first-class build quality and a high-quality feel. Not least the standard-fit multifunction steering wheel, also optionally available in leather, the newly designed seats, which now include integrated head restraints1), or the new, optionally available stowage facilities and compartments for the engine tunnel.

The new Axor also puts forward a convincing argument when it comes to economy. As well as offering a high payload, it follows in the footsteps of its predecessor with reliable Euro 5 engines that ensure low fuel consumption and extremely long maintenance intervals. As an option, the new Axor is also available with engines that meet the requirements of the strict EEV emissions standard.

A further ecofriendly option is the engine start/stop system2), which can help reduce fuel consumption and, therefore, CO2 emissions. An investment that pays for itself quickly. As does the Mercedes PowerShift automatic gearshift available as an option for the Axor from 265 kW (360 hp) and the optionally available Economy Pack.

The plus points of the new Axor don’t stop there. Further advantages you can count on include a long warranty on the powertrain components, low maintenance and repair costs, and the expected high residual value. Not to mention optionally available dynamic handling control and driver assistance systems that further enhance ride comfort and safety in the new Axor.

In short, the new Axor once again shows what it takes to be cost-effective in short-radius-distribution applications of 18 t and above: high payload, low costs and driver-oriented comfort.

1) The head restraints are still mounted separately on the folding rigid seat

for the co-driver’s side and on the optionally available centre seat2) Available in conjunction with manual gearshift for Axor models

up to 240 kW (326 hp)

The new-look radiator grille with diamond-shaped perforations lends the Atego and the Axor an unmistakable, new face.

The new radiator grille is also optionally available in the vehicle colour

Attractive and practical – for many, this is a contradiction in terms. But not when it comes to the cabs for the new Atego and the new Axor. As highlighted on the outside by the new-look radiator grille. And on the inside by a wealth of details: the comfortable seats now feature integrated head restraints1) and are all upholstered in either flat-weave fabric or velour with “Brasao” design. Further comfort and convenience-enhancing features include the new instrument cluster trimmed with chrome rings, which offers optimised menu navigation and a graphics-capable display, making it easier to read all the infor-mation. And to make everything even easier still, the new Atego and the new Axor are now equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, which enhances both comfort and safety, as the radio and telephone can be operated directly from the steering wheel.

Details that will please both your drivers and your controllerProof that practicality and good looks can go hand in hand in short-radius distribution – the new Atego and the new Axor show how it’s done.
