The Mercedes-Benz Actros is a heavy duty truck produced by Mercedes-Benz in 1995. It is used for long-distance haulage, heavy duty distribution haulage and construction haulage. The Mercedes-Benz Actros is equipped with two types of engines. The OM 501 LA-541 and the OM 502 LA-542. The OM 501 is a 12-litre V6, and has outputs ranging from 310 HP to 480 HP. The  Actros generation comes with an electronic sequential gearbox that Mercedes-Benz has dubbed the "Telligent Gearbox".

The system is consists of a small lever mounted under the right armrest and a flat switch underneath. The lever is slightly tilted, so that it matches the natural curve of the driver's hand when it's on the armrest. While moving, the driver has two choices. He or she may push or pull the lever to let the computer choose the gear for them, or they can use the splitter switch to pre-select gears.

The gearbox is fully synchronized, and in some models, the computer would even blip the throttle for you for a smoother downshift. Actros is great for novice drivers, who are not sure of the proper gear. The Mercedes Actros is one of the most desired trucks on the export market.

The cabin of the Actros is built with consideration for the driver. Actros provides a silent, smooth and pleasant ride to the driver. There are large storage spaces, especially in the MegaSpace cab. Additional storage spaces are available under the lower bunk. The driver seat is a fully adjustable seat and the passenger seat only allows for backrest adjustment.
