FuelChallenger – New Actros challenges all trucks in a fuel fight
Vehicle & Technology
The Mercedes-Benz Actros is taking on all-comers in a fuel fight to the finish. There can only be one winner…
Mercedes-Benz is taking the bold step of setting up its long-haul fuel economy champion, the Actros, to take on the best the competition can muster in a series of head-to-head contests.
The Fuel Challenger programme invites operators to put an Actros demonstrator to work alongside their own vehicles, and measure their diesel consumption side by side. The aim is to prove beyond all doubt that as well as being the smartest, most reliable and driver-friendly truck on the road, Actros is a winner at the pumps too. It is a bold move, not least because the Fuel Challenger tractor units wear a highly visible and distinctive white and green livery – and all are fitted with Daimler FleetBoard telematics equipment that will provide mercilessly accurate appraisals of their fuel consumption as the trials take place.
