2019 Arocs & Zetros Off-Road Testing
Heavy-duty all-wheel drive tipper – the Arocs 4153 AK 8x8/4 – with a turbo retarder clutch and 80 tonne drivetrain. And in between those, other Arocs with various-sized engines such as the 4143 k 8x4/4 and the Arocs 1853 k 4x2 were also available. A Canter 4x4 and a Zetros 4043 A 6x6 for export completed the vehicle pool.
The new Arocs remains true to its virtues, and continues to excel with power, robustness and efficiency. At the same time the Mercedes-Benz Trucks flagship for construction operations offers digital applications for the construction sector. Above all, the Arocs's already existing ability to accommodate to bodybuilders has been improved even further. For example, individual body control functions that are not relevant to safety can be integrated into the Multimedia Cockpit of the new Arocs. This brings a number of advantages for bodybuilders, drivers and transport operators.
The Multimedia Cockpit of the new Arocs consisting of two digital displays replaces the classic instrument cluster and supplements the switch control panel in the dashboard. The high-resolution primary colour display behind the steering wheel clearly shows all the vehicle information plus driving and operating statuses. If an implement or mounted body is in operation, this is shown symbolically by indicator lamps in the primary display. In addition pop-up windows can give the driver warnings, and up to ten messages can be configured. The pop-ups consist of a symbol and an information text. Potential messages might be "Transmission fault in the vehicle body", "Fault in the trailer coupling", "Body oil temperature too high" or "Body service required".
The second display of the Multimedia Cockpit with touchscreen operation is located in the dashboard. For the convenient integration of non safety-related body functions, up to eight individually selectable, virtual switches can be accommodated here. The corresponding symbols can be chosen from a range of more than 130 templates. Furthermore, it is still possible to assign functions to the classic switches in the control panel directly below the secondary display. Should the number of connectors provided here be insufficient, an additional control panel in the cup holder can be ordered as special equipment.
Another advantage of technical integration into the Multimedia Cockpit of the new Arocs: in order to represent corresponding symbols desired by the bodybuilder, it is now no longer necessary to disassemble the instrument cluster. The symbols can be very easily configured from a vehicle library by a service partner, using so-called XENTRY diagnosis. Up to five indicator lamps can be freely selected for the primary display of the Multimedia Cockpit. In this case the lamps show the operating status of the vehicle body – for example whether the body-mounted headlamps are switched on, or the support legs for a crane have been extended.
