Strong. On every terrain. This is the Daimler
motto for its appearance at the Bauma 2016 trade fair. As the world's
leading show for the construction sector it offers the ideal podium for
the Group's diverse construction ve-hicles. From A for Arocs to Z for Zetros
they cover the entire spectrum of construction vehicles. Whether it's
an urban delivery vehicle or van, a light-duty truck or a heavy-duty
truck, heavy-duty tractor units or an individual special-purpose vehicle
– the Mercedes-Benz and Fuso brands offer the right answer to every
question in the construction segment. Over a total area of 2100 m², on
an area of 1700 m² in Hall B4 and over a space of 400
m² in the open-air grounds right next to it Daimler is exhibiting 22
vehicles in all for virtually every conceivable application.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks: Arocs, Atego, Actros and Actros/Arocs SLT
The Mercedes-Benz A Team is the main focus when it comes to trucks for the construction industry. At its heart is the Arocs,
the specialised truck model series for construction transport and thus a
true pro through and through. The Arocs celebrated its world premiere
at Bauma 2013, and now it is available with its full range. This
includes the Arocs HAD with the engageable all-wheel
drive Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive. It is currently causing a sensation in
the construction sector. In time for Bauma 2016 Mercedes-Benz is
extending the spectrum of the Arocs to include a new hypoid-axle tandem
in two different versions (2x10 t and 2x13 t) for even higher
efficiency, plus cab variants with a low entrance and also additional
equipment variants such as a cockpit with a light interior and optional
equipment with the Home line or Style line. The Arocs is demonstrating
its abilities at Bauma with six vehicles.
The Arocs is flanked by several model series. The Atego as a medium-duty dump truck, for instance, is being shown at Bauma 2016 as an all-wheel drive dump truck. An Actros
from the tried-and-tested model series com-pletes the stand-out range
for export markets all over the world. One of the eye-catching features
always comes in the form of the spectacular Actros SLT and Arocs SLT heavy-duty tractor/trailer
combinations. At Bauma 2016 an Actros 4163 LS Semi-SLT as a four-axle
model with an additional dock axle is opening the door to the
fascinating world of the heavy guys, and here it is configured for an
overall towing weight of 155 t.
Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks: Unimog, Zetros and the Econic
It is indispensable for special tasks on the construction site: the off-road legend that is the Unimog proves its unique skills as a highly specialised implement carrier in model series U 218 to U 530 with a multitude of attachments and implements – now even with four-wheel steering. In off-road applications the all-terrain Unimog U 4027/U 5027
accesses work-places which others would never reach. At the Bauma show a
Unimog U 527 is demonstrating just what the implement carrier is
capable of in road construction. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros
also has permanent all-wheel drive. At the same time it offers the load
capacity of a heavy-duty truck. The extremely robust cab-over-engine
vehicle is presented at Bauma 2016 as a three-axle model, as befits a
heavy-duty truck for off-road use. The Mercedes-Benz Econic
is embarking on a career as a construction vehicle. In urban
construction transport it enhances safety due to its low-entry cab with
an optimum view of pedestrians and cyclists.
Mercedes-Benz Custom Tailored Trucks (CTT). Application Information Centre
Whatever it takes: Mercedes-Benz Custom Tailored Trucks (CTT)
realises individual requests. Whether it is a question of wheelbase
modifications, an Arocs as a five-axle model featuring the axle
configuration 10x4, a Zetros with a crewcab or as a tractor unit: CTT
manufactures extraordinary variants for customers all over the world.
Developed by in-house engineers in close coordination with Daimler
Trucks' central development department. With service and explicit and
implied warranties from Mercedes-Benz.
View, compare and drive construction vehicles from Mercedes-Benz: the Application Information Centre
makes this possible. Right at the gates of the truck plant in Wörth,
customers can inspect around 180 trucks from all model series and
tonnages, including around 40 dump trucks, concrete mixers and building
material platforms. They carry bodies from renowned manufacturers. At
the Application Information Centre, customers benefit from neutral
advice and from the opportunity to drive the laden truck, even off-road.
Mercedes-Benz Vans: Sprinter, Vito and Citan
As a full-range provider in the MPV sector
Mercedes-Benz Vans covers the entire construction spectrum.
On the
construction site the best-selling Sprinter van is
present in diverse variants, as a pickup, crewcab, dump truck, panel van
and crewbus, with special bodies and fittings, with rear- and all-wheel
drive. At Bauma 2016 the Sprinter is appearing as a crewcab with a
tipper body plus as a pickup. A long-wheelbase version of the Vito
Mixto shows the extent of a panel van's ability: it transports people
and materials simultaneously and ploughs through thick and thin with
all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz is sounding out the compact Citan's
possibilities with surprisingly spacious workshop fittings. The Citan
benefits from detailed enhancements and extended equipment. One of these
is the new dual clutch transmission 6G.DCT.
With the VanSolution range Mercedes-Benz Vans is
extending its offering to include complete vehicles with bodies and
fittings from a single source and with a full plant warranty and implied
warranty – also for construction.
Fuso Canter: the high-payload and indestructible light-duty truck
A robust design, durable components, a high payload and low costs – the Fuso Canter
displays properties that the construction sector wants. It ranges from
3.5 t to 8.55 t perm. GVW and is thus driving-licence-friendly. A
space-saving cab-over-engine design, stable frame, strong axles, compact
and powerful engines – there are many arguments in favour of the Fuso
Canter. And there are added specialities: the dual clutch transmission
Duonic cuts consumption and enhances comfort, the Canter 4x4
demons-trates impressive handling off-road, as the first standard
hybrid truck in Europe the Canter Eco Hybrid saves lots of fuel, the
Canter E-Cell is as quiet as a whisper when out on the road and is
emission-free as it drives through town.
Daimler services: a diverse range
With a truck from Mercedes-Benz, companies and
drivers are never alone – each vehicle is framed by a range of unique,
high-performance services. The Mercedes-Benz Bank adds tailor-made financing or the right leasing model to the mix. Europe's leading telematics provider FleetBoard
cuts fuel con-sumption and wear, provides support for order management
and reads out the driver card. The construction vehicle is available for
lease from CharterWay, whether for 24 hours or a
period of months, supplemented by services and special fleet contracts.
CharterWay even leases the Actros SLT. With the free Mercedes-Benz ServiceCard
customers can put everything on one card: refuelling at the most
favourably priced filling station on the route, paying service and toll
fees, easier coordination of help should the vehicle break down. After
all, TruckStore is Europe's largest used vehicle dealer
for trucks and responsible for the purchase and sale of used vans and
trucks. The average stock is around 4000 vehicles, including lots of
trucks for the construction industry. A Europe-wide uniform evaluation
plus individual services ensure fair and individual processing.
