MERCEDES-BENZ AROCS:FOR WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH

摘要

That the latest generation Mercedes-Benz Arocs has been specifically designed and built for heavy construction duties was well proven when Plant & Civil Engineer's Phil Eaglestone recently got behind the wheel to put an Arocs 5 3240 8×4 through its paces, courtesy of dealers MBNI Truck & Van. Having been in constant operation since 1895, Boyd's Quarry in Newtownabbey in County Antrim, provided the ideal backdrop and the perfect tough working environment for our day out, and we weren't disappointed by its overall performance. While standard equipment includes Stability Control Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Attention Assist, it also boasts other latest technologies such as Predictive Powertrain Control, Sideguard Assist, Active Brake Assist and market 'firsts' such as MirrorCam and the Multimedia Cockpit, not to mention the Truck Data Center connectivity platform.
