Mercedes Benz trucks interior
Mercedes-Benz pays meticulous attention not only to the comfort and safety of its Actros truck cabins but also to comfort and detailed design. Upon entering the cabin, one is immediately struck by the refinement of details, the functionality of technologies, modernity, and the spaciousness of the cabin itself, creating a sense of comfort and even luxury.
Most importantly, it is designed to ensure the driver’s comfort during driving, working, and resting. Quality design, employing the highest-quality materials, distinguishes the workspace from the living space. Even the interior colour palette is chosen to create a cosy environment. This is further enhanced by a thoughtfully crafted LED lighting concept. The interior lighting comprises two adjustable downlights integrated into the roof lining. Additionally, task lighting is installed and can be activated separately, with a green light to reduce night-time driving stress and eye fatigue.
Mercedes-Benz: climate control and ergonomic comfort
Driver comfort is inconceivable without ensuring conducive internal temperature for work and rest. This is facilitated by an efficient climate control system, ensuring a pleasant temperature inside the cabin regardless of the weather conditions outside.

In addition to seat climate control and heating systems, the seat also comes with a massage function designed to reduce driver fatigue during long journeys. The seat climate system ensures a pleasant airflow, with fans strategically positioned to avoid uncomfortable drafts. The seat design minimizes horizontal vibrations, allowing for adjustable seatbelt height and removable lumbar support – all for your comfort.

In front of the seat, there is an adjustable steering wheel with intuitive controls, allowing the driver to manage various functions without taking hands off the wheel and eyes off the road.
The dashboard is a masterpiece of modern design, featuring a high-resolution digital screen. This, along with another display, constitutes the latest information and entertainment system, the Mercedes Benz Multimedia Cockpit. Both screens boast intuitive controls, providing clear and concise information about the truck’s operation, navigation, vehicle diagnostics, media playback, voice commands for settings, calling, and address search (Fig. 2).
Among other technologies used inside, it’s worth mentioning the high-quality key with a transmitter that allows the truck to be conveniently unlocked and locked from a distance of up to 50 meters. The remote control operation is not direction-dependent, eliminating the need to aim it directly at the vehicle. Another enhancement is the electronic parking brake with the HOLD function , ensuring easier control, increased comfort, and safety.

Let’s not forget that safety plays a significant role in the Mercedes Benz Actros interior. The cabin is equipped with a comprehensive set of advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, the Active Sideguard Assist lane-keeping system, Active Brake Assist for active braking support, a road sign assistance programme, and the Trailer Stability Assist system designed to proactively stabilize trailers and (or) semi-trailers in potential critical driving situations. These technologies work together to enhance road safety, assisting the driver in maintaining a safe distance, staying within lanes, and even autonomously braking to avoid collisions.
The interior of the Mercedes-Benz Actros truck is a blend of design, comfort, and technology. It creates a spacious and comfortable environment for the driver and passengers, making long journeys more enjoyable. Moreover, Mercedes Benz understands that the needs of each driver can vary significantly, offering the option to customize the cabin according to individual preferences.
