Mercedes-Benz ATEGO 916 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Transmission

The Mercedes-Benz Atego 916 is built around the OM 934 LA 5.1L inline-four common-rail diesel engine, delivering 156 hp and 675 Nm torque. The post-2013 OM 934 LA replaced the mechanically injected OM 904 LA, focusing on low-end torque and extended durability with optimized internal stress and reduced fuel consumption by approximately 5%. The PowerShift 3 AMT, utilizing the G70-6 or G90-6 6-speed gearboxes, is standard across recent models, providing precise gear changes and driving modes like "creep" for maneuverability at loading docks. Optional manual transmissions with pneumatic shift assistance remain available for specialized requirements.

Chassis, Suspension, and Payload

Occupying a 9.5t GVW (13t GCW), the Atego 916 features a high-tensile steel ladder frame and a tare weight typically from 4,000 kg (chassis only). Depending on body configuration, legal payloads vary from 2,300 kg to 4,500 kg. Administrative derating to 8.6t GVW is possible for licensing flexibility. Axle ratings allow for up to 4,000 kg front and 6,200 kg rear. Suspension setups include parabolic steel (front/rear), steel/air (most box trucks), and reinforced all-steel for the Kipper variant. Integrated TPMS and 17.5-inch wheels with 215/75R17.5 or 235/75R17.5 tires enhance stability and loading efficiency.

Cabin, Dashboard, and Variants

Available cabs include ClassicSpace S (standard/extended), L-Cab, and BigSpace L-Cab. All are mounted on four-point suspension for ride comfort. Dashboard configurations span Classic Cockpit (analog), Comfort Cockpit (enhanced storage), and the Multimedia Cockpit, featuring dual digital displays and connectivity with Truck App Portal and optional MirrorCam. Body-mounting support includes BDF swap systems, dedicated municipal “Kipper” tipper chassis, and customizable wheelbases. PTO integration and PSM body electronics provide advanced implement control.

Safety and Telematics

GSR II-compliant ADAS feature sets incorporate ABA 6 with 270° radar/camera fusion, enabling emergency braking for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Active Sideguard Assist 2 offers blind spot intervention. EBS, ABS, ASR, ESP, Hill Hold, and TPMS are standard. High-spec variants include the High Performance Engine Brake (up to 300 kW retardation). Telematics integration uses FleetBoard and TruckLive for predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics, and extended service intervals (up to 120,000 km).
