The Mercedes-Benz range of construction vehicles
  • Trucks from 7.5 to 250 tonnes
  • Three truck families
  • Two, three and four-axle trucks
  • Drive configurations from 4x2 to 8x8/4
  • 110 to 448 kW (150 to 609 hp)
  • Transmissions with 6 to 16 gears
Everything from a single source – with three van and three truck series for the construction sector (both on-site construction and materials supply), Daimler Chrysler is the manufacturer with the widest range of vehicles for this broad area of operations. The spectrum of available weight categories extends from the Mercedes-Benz Vito one-tonner with a gross vehicle weight of less than 2.8 tonnes to the four-axle Actros very heavy-duty truck in the 250-tonne class.
The mainstay of the DaimlerChrysler vehicle portfolio for the construction sector is the range of trucks produced at the plants in Wörth and Aksaray – the Mercedes-Benz Atego, Axor and Actros series. From transporting construction materials on the road and heavy-duty site operations with all-wheel-drive dump trucks, and right up to tractor units for very heavy-duty combinations with weights of up to 250 tonnes or large-scale pumped concrete assignments, there is practically no job in the construction sector that cannot be cost-effectively tackled with the trucks and semitrailer tractors from the DaimlerChrysler plant in Wörth.
The vehicle range is a seamless portfolio extending from truck chassis and tippers to semitrailer tractors and special-purpose chassis. From the on-road 4x2, the two-axle truck with a driven rear axle and the off-road 8x8 right up to the overloadable four-axle dump truck with eight driven wheels, every conceivable and practical drive configuration is available from the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth – and in every appropriate wheelbase.
These comprehensive technical solutions for all construction-related needs are supplemented with tailor-made service packages ranging from vehicle procurement – for example via Mercedes-Benz CharterWay and the DaimlerChrysler Bank – to the resale of used vehicles via TruckStore and TGC.
