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

Powertrain and Chassis Engineering

The Mercedes-Benz Axor 1833 features the OM 926 LA 7.2L inline-six diesel engine, producing 326 hp and 1,300 Nm torque from 1,200–1,600 rpm, utilizing a Unit Pump System (UPS) for robust, high-pressure fuel injection (up to 1,800 bar). Later Euro VI units integrate the OM 936 (7.7L, up to 354 hp/1,450 Nm, Common Rail, twin-turbo) or OM 470 (10.7L, 326 hp, 1,700 Nm) for stringent emissions and higher torque demands. The E 500 TM high-strength steel chassis minimizes kerb weight, optimizing payload in 18-tonne GVW class. Deep-web frame rails (289 mm) and a 50mm universal hole pattern support modular body configurations. Rear axles include both hypoid options and the H7 planetary hub-reduction axle for severe-duty applications.

Transmission and Driveline

Axor 1833 variants are available with manual and AMT options. Common gearboxes include the G 131-9 (9-speed with crawler gear), G 85-6 (6-speed, optimized for urban use), and up to 16-speed all-synchromesh transmissions. PowerShift AMT (such as G 211-12) provides automated shifting for driveline protection and fuel efficiency. 4x4 tipper and off-road variants include the VG 1700-3W transfer case with reduction ratios and full mechanical diff locks, enhancing traction and ground clearance in challenging conditions.

Suspension, Axles, and Body Options

Front axles support up to 7,500 kg via parabolic springs. Distribution models use rear air suspension with electronic lift/lower functions; construction/off-road rigs employ robust leaf springs. Planetary rear axles deliver exceptional ground clearance and driveline durability for tippers and rigorous off-road tasks. Chassis layouts span 4x2, 6x4, and 4x4, supporting specialized builds like tippers, mixers, and custom expedition vehicles. Mid-lift axles with smaller wheels (17.5”) are optional to reduce tare weight in multi-axle configurations.

Cabin, Ergonomics, and Safety Systems

Cab widths measure 2,300 mm; configurations include S-cab (day), extended day, L-cab (sleeper), and high-roof options (1,910 mm standing height). Features such as air-suspended seats, multi-zone HVAC, and Telligent Driver Information Systems are standard, with digital dashboards and multimedia integration available in later years. Safety technology comprises ABS, engine brake/turbobrake (up to 450 kW), Lane Keeping Assist, Active Brake Assist (ABA 5+), and Active Sideguard Assist 2. The Telligent maintenance system dynamically manages service intervals based on real-world usage, supported by optional FleetBoard® telematics.
