Mercedes-Benz Actros 1833 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Transmission

The Mercedes-Benz Actros 1833 is available with two inline-six engine configurations: the OM 470 (10.7L) delivering 240 kW (326 hp) and 1,700 Nm at 1,100 rpm, or the lighter OM 936 (7.7L) in high-output versions up to 260 kW (354 hp) and 1,400 Nm. The OM 470 features X-Pulse common rail injection with pressures up to 2,700 bar, a 1-stage asymmetric turbo, and an engine brake capable of 480 kW. The OM 936 provides significant weight savings—up to 300 kg less than OM 470—making it optimal for volume-based, light cargo. The PowerShift 3 AMT is standard, typically as a 12-speed (G 211-12) or, for some urban variants, available as an 8-speed (G 140-8). Direct-drive gearboxes and hypoid axle ratios from i = 2.533 optimize highway cruising at low rpm.

Cabins, Chassis, and Ergonomics

The 1833 is predominantly offered as a 4x2 rigid chassis in multiple wheelbase lengths, supporting diverse superstructure requirements. Cab options span 17 variants, including ClassicSpace and CompactSpace (2,300 mm width with low entry) for regional distribution, StreamSpace for aerodynamic efficiency, and high-volume BigSpace/GigaSpace (flat floor, up to 2,130 mm ceiling height) for extended regional work. Multimedia Cockpit (10"/12" digital displays) with touchscreen interface, MirrorCam, and full telematics integration are featured on post-2018 models. Air suspension is standard at the rear, with full air suspension optional.

Fuel Efficiency and Aerodynamics

Pivotal technologies include Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) with GPS-based topographical cruise and EcoRoll for downhill coasting. Aerodynamic advancements span the MP5's MirrorCam, reducing drag over legacy mirrors, and the ProCabin in Actros L, which extends the front fascia by 80 mm, integrates side deflectors, and optimizes panel seam alignment for an added 3% fuel economy. These features combine with the OM 470’s efficiency to enable real-world consumption as low as 19.44 L/100 km under controlled conditions.

Active Safety and Maintenance

Advanced safety includes ABA 6 with radar/camera fusion, Active Sideguard Assist 2, and Active Drive Assist 3 providing Level 2 automated driving. Maintenance integrates predictive Uptime services, leveraging real-time sensor data for dynamic scheduling, and a modular "One Box" exhaust system with SCR and DPF for streamlined servicing and minimal downtime. Multiple cab comfort and digital upgrades further differentiate the Actros 1833 in regional and urban operations.
