Mercedes-Benz Actros 2540 at Engeros Otepää
Powertrain and Driveline
The Mercedes-Benz Actros 2540 is consistently specified with a 6x2 axle configuration, typically featuring a liftable and steerable third axle for maneuverability and reduced tire wear during unladen operations. Across its MP3, MP4, and MP5 generations (2010–2024), the Actros 2540 delivers approximately 400 hp from factory, originally via the OM 501 LA 12L V6 (MP3, 394 bhp) with PLD injection and later with the OM 470 10.7L inline-6 (MP4/MP5, 394–400 hp) utilizing X-PULSE common rail. The standard transmission on MP4 and MP5 is the 12-speed PowerShift 3 (G 211-12), featuring intelligent modes, EcoRoll, and predictive shift control via integrated PPC. Manual 16-speed gearboxes (G210-16) were available on early MP3 models.
Cab Options and Driver Environment
The Actros 2540 offers multiple cab variants: ClassicSpace (functional, typically 2.3 m wide), StreamSpace (available 2.3 or 2.5 m, level floor in wider versions), BigSpace, and GigaSpace (2.5 m wide, level floor, up to 2,130 mm headroom). High-quality bunks (up to 2,200 mm), thick mattresses, and up to 975 L of storage are standard on flagship cabs. MP5 introduces the Multimedia Cockpit (dual digital displays), full steering wheel adjustability, and ergonomic layout. MirrorCam replaces conventional wing mirrors on MP5 for improved vision and cabin aerodynamics.
Advanced Safety and Assistance Systems
MP5 Actros 2540 variants feature ABA5 with pedestrian recognition and 270-degree multi-sensor fusion (ABA6 on Actros L/ProCabin). Active Sideguard Assist with automated intervention, PPC GPS cruise, Active Drive Assist (Level 2 automation), and lane-centric steering are also integrated. Sideguard warnings are delivered via digital MirrorCam displays, while the Multimedia Cockpit centralizes ADAS feedback and driver alerts for real-time awareness.
Efficiency and Reliability
PPC and aerodynamic enhancements (MirrorCam, concave side deflectors, ProCabin with 80 mm longer nose) deliver up to 5% fuel savings on later models. B10 life is rated at 1.2 million km with high durability on clutch (750,000 km) and brake discs (450,000 km). Maintenance notes include attention to AdBlue sensors, TCM air leaks (early MP4/Euro VI), and early wiring loom ingress, especially on first-run MP4s.
