The 580-horsepower truck only pulls 18 tons? Mercedes-Benz Arocs chassis fire engine is really violent

Mercedes-Benz's new generation of heavy-duty trucks are divided into Actros (Aktos) and Arocs (Alos). The former is mainly for road transport, the latter is designed for engineering and off-road design. Both models are listed in China, the domestic market. Arocs only has a chance to see it in the fields of pump trucks, special trucks and fire trucks.

Mercedes-Benz's new generation trucks were on display at the scene of a foam fire truck based on the Arocs 4158 chassis.

According to the positioning of the model, the Arocs haunting places are more difficult road environment, and the shape design naturally tends to be rough and rough. The cab body is the same as the Actros. Arocs makes a clear distinction on the front face. The shovel-type air intake grille reveals a rough taste, including the corners of the left and right rear view mirror casings. decoration.

The 2.3-meter wide and narrow flat-top cab is more suitable for engineering vehicles and has higher flexibility. The bumper ground clearance is much higher than that of the road bike. The large gray plastic appearance is more resistant to roughness, and the headlight shape is also different from the road version of Actros.

The ground clearance of the vehicle chassis is relatively large. It can be seen from the distance between the side wheel supply and the tire. The chassis attachment arrangement also has a high ground clearance. Since the original factory could not provide a double-row cab, the top of the cab was designed with a passenger compartment behind the cab. The last two axles of the 8x4 chassis are the drive shafts, and the wheel-side deceleration drive axles are fitted with steel plates. All are based on load-bearing and durable. The slightly airy suspension is not suitable for use in such vehicles.

The model of the 4158 is designed to with a tonnage of 41 tons and a 580 hp engine. The new Actros road bike currently only offers a 13-liter displacement 510-horsepower engine in China, and the Arocs 580-horsepower is a larger-displacement OM473 engine. After seeing the old Actros tanker with 600 horsepower V8 engine acceleration is not satisfactory, the 580 horsepower fire truck does not feel excessive power.

According to the positioning of the Arocs tool cart, the interior configuration is not high, much simpler than the road bike. The main driving airbag damping seat shape looks good, the actual adjustable function configuration is much less, compared to other models, the seat comfort is still stronger, and the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse.

The layout of the entire interior is almost exactly the same as Actros, with some silver chrome trim strips to be simpler, and the steering wheel multi-function buttons are complete.

The low-profile dashboard is simpler, with a black-and-white design, and the gap is known in comparison with the standard dashboard of the road bike version.

The functions of electric glass lifting, electric mirror adjustment, and mirror heating were retained, and the basic configuration was not excessively reduced.

The new Actros on the one-button start function is very cool, and the fire truck was cancelled. The position of the one-button start button becomes the keyhole, and the position of the key inserted next to it remains, and it looks slightly shabby.

Although it is a narrow-body flat-top cab, the space for two people in the car is not suppressed at all, and it is very sufficient. The storage space is not too much extravagant. There are two small cells at the top of the head, and there is a small triangular area in the middle of the center console.

The layout of the fire truck's buttons will be different. The original factory provides the main power switch and the warning light switch in the car. The conversion factory has separately added the power supply and external lighting switch. The difference between the style and the original switch is obvious. The important switch is marked with a yellow Chinese sticker. come out.

Power take-off switch.

The hidden position of the handbrake is equipped with a differential lock knob switch, which is not easily accidentally touched. It is equipped with the inter-axle differential lock and the inter-wheel differential lock function. The first-speed differential lock is opened, and the second-speed inter-axle differential lock and the inter-wheel differential lock are simultaneously opened.

Focus on the transmission, the default equipped with Mercedes-Benz Powershift3 manual transmission, shift design, shift program design and road car will be different, high speed shifting, throttle pedal is more sensitive, cancel EcoEoll economic mode, priority to ensure power output.
