In addition to being marketed in the European market, the model is also exported by Daimler Trucks to countries in Africa and the Middle East.Strong, sturdy and sturdy, Arocs is the master builder for the construction industry, especially when operating under the extreme conditions of off-road operations. Designed and developed specifically for this purpose, four years after its debut, this truck is available in an extremely wide and growing range.

The extensive portfolio of cabs, engines (4 versions with 18 power ranges, from 238 hp to 625 hp), traction (4x2, 4x4, 6x2, 6x4, 6x6, 8x2, 8x4, 8x6 and 8x8), transmission and 16 speeds) and wheels ensure that the truck can handle all types of application.

With a combined gross combined weight (PBTC) of 250 tonnes, 625 hp at 1600 rpm, with 3,000 Nm of torque at 1,100 rpm, and the Mercedes PowerShift 16-speed automatic transmission, the SLT ensures high performance under severe conditions.

Arocs is reference in its segment of operation...The Arocs equipment versions also include metal or pneumatic suspension options and frames designed for on-road or off-road use with varying wheelbase distances.For off-road use, Mercedes-Benz offers three versions of traction on all wheels. If payload and fuel consumption are the priority, the momentary engagement of the full wheel drive is the right choice. If maximum force is required, the solution is permanent traction on all wheels. The third version, the Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive (HDA), has motors in the hubs on the front axle. This solution is used in the eventual needs of increased traction, which contributes to Arocs' image as a multipurpose truck.The Arocs HAD has become a benchmark in its segment: it is powerful, lighter than all-wheel drive, easy to operate, maintenance-free and has long service life. The system reduces fuel consumption and protects the environment as a result of its low emissions.
