Actros is a heavy duty truck produced by the German automaker Mercedes Benz and that’s why this truck is called Benz Actros. This is for heavy duty operation where in heavy goods need to be moved to a large distance. Mercedes boasts of its “Telligent Gearbox”. It has the mechanical gearbox coupled to a computer which assists the driver during the gear shift. This technology is a great advantage for novice drivers who are not sure about their gear shift. The computer detects the load connected and the road terrain and tells the driver which gear is apt for a particular downshift or up shift. This has an added advantage as this isolates the gear box from the driver’s direct level control and thus preventing the wear and tear of the gear tooth. Further the interior is large making a large room for the driver to feel comfortable with. This has got a V8 or V6 engine with turbochargers and intercoolers. Like a car the driver’s room is filled with radio, CD players and sound systems to entertain him for such a fairly long travel.
