[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Mercedes-Benz Trucks announced on the 7th that it will introduce the New Actros to the domestic market through a digital launch.

The domestic digital launch of the New Actros will take place on the 10th at 10 a.m. on the Mercedes-Benz Trucks channel on KakaoTV.

Jo Gyusang, CEO of Daimler Trucks Korea, said, “We are pleased to present the New Actros, which adds a new chapter to Daimler's 125-year history of truck development, to domestic customers.” He added, “The newly introduced New Actros brings tangible economic benefits to customers through Road Efficiency, an innovative efficiency concept that maximizes Total Transport Efficiency (TTE), and enables smooth operations with safe and convenient features.” He also said, “We look forward to customers' responses to the domestic launch of the New Actros, which showcases the future of heavy trucks on today's roads with five major innovations and over 60 new technologies.”

The aerodynamic body design of the New Actros and the compact digital cameras of the MirrorCam minimize air resistance, achieving approximately 1.3% (maximum, based on European standards) fuel savings. In addition, the MirrorCam not only provides a driving view without blind spots but also enhances driving safety and convenience by incorporating various assistive functions.
