High demands are made on the vehicle as a matter of fact in the construction business. To meet these demands and ensure a long service life for the Atego, high-quality, robust engineering is required:
economical, powerful BlueTEC® engines with a power output range of 115 kW to 210 kW and above-average service life
three different 6-speed transmissions and the 9-speed direct-drive transmission: precisely aligned with engine output to protect components and ensure a long service life
robust, single-reduction hypoid rear axles withstand high loads and ensure smooth and quiet operation
effective corrosion protection thanks to cathodic dip priming. When attaching bodies and other equipment, the frame’s pre-drilled holes eliminate the need for further drilling, which could damage corrosion protection
highly stable vehicle frame boasting an optimum ratio between load capacity and unladen weight
optional engine start/stop system, which automatically switches the engine off and on when traffic isn’t flowing, e.g. on narrow construction sites
optional drive/brake speed control ensures an almost constant speed, which reduces the driver’s workload and saves on fuel
available as an option: front underride guard for the safety of other road users; anti-spray elements in the wings minimise spray formation on wet roads; and steel protective grilles for headlamps and tail lights
