Mercedes-Benz ANTOS 2527 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Performance

The Mercedes-Benz Antos 2527 is powered by the OM 936 LA, a 7.7L inline-six diesel engine delivering 200 kW (272 hp) at 2,200 rpm and 1,100 Nm across 1,200–1,600 rpm. The engine features an undersquare long-stroke design, dual overhead camshafts, a lamellar graphite iron block, and a four-valve cross-flow cylinder head. Key differentiators include the X-Pulse common rail injection system (up to 2,400 bar at the nozzle with multiple injection events) and asymmetrical turbocharging for immediate throttle response and integrated high-pressure EGR. The high-performance engine brake produces up to 302 kW of retarding force, and secondary Voith water retarders can be specified for enhanced downhill control.

Transmission and Drive Configuration

The Antos 2527 is paired with the PowerShift 3 AMT, available in 8-speed or 12-speed configurations. Primary driving modes—fleet, economy, or power—are programmable for dedicated use cases. The transmission features an urban-optimized “creep” function for precise low-speed maneuvers and rapid, smooth shifting through electro-mechanical actuators.

Chassis and Suspension

This model uses a 6x2*4 axle layout—driven center axle with a rear trailing axle that is both liftable and electro-hydraulically steerable. The 834 mm chassis width maximizes stability, while parabolic front springs and rear 4-bellows air suspension deliver ride consistency and height adjustability via ECAS. All axles feature ventilated disc brakes and fully pneumatic EBS with ASR, ABS, and differential lock. Liftable axles reduce tire wear and improve unloaded fuel economy.

Cab and Operational Specialization

The Antos 2527 employs a 2,300 mm wide cab in three lengths (Short, Medium, CompactSpace), with two engine tunnel heights (170 mm/320 mm) for low step entry, supporting sector-specific variants: Loader (lightweight, max payload), Volumer (low-coupling for high-cube bodies). The interior has a driver-centric asymmetric dashboard, keyless start, FleetBoard telematics, and a specialized mirror suite with maneuvering function. Applications span refrigerated box, swap-body (BDF), municipal refuse, and construction crane transport, leveraging modular frames and high-capacity PTO/alternator options for auxiliary equipment.

Safety and Telematics

Active Brake Assist 3, Lane Departure Warning, Attention Assist, and ESP are integrated, alongside full telematics via FleetBoard for driver behavior analysis and real-time diagnostics.
