Hi I'm a Mercedes truck mechanic there is an app you can download to learn more about your personal truck also retarder is like a big brake on the drive shaft and engine brake is completely different it shuts the exhaust valves and stops gasses escaping to slow the engine down that's what the trucks use now the only retarder I've seen used is on a Mercedes vario bus hope this helps.

[@petergerman3593]

Seems I was born 40 years to soon great vlog

[@UKMadMike]

Brilliant in depth review. Love it Luke your lucky to have it a week. Good job 👍

[@BritishTrucking]

That looks excellent great video Luke i like the look of the touchscreen set up and also having full control of it from the steering wheel

[@mrlove6906]

Luke c just passed you in Gloucester this morning loving the videos keep it going👍

[@brettthomsonthomson9001]

Really good video please keep them coming

[@Oliver-cn7jt]

Some of the features like the PCP make it such a nice truck! Nice vid Luke ;)

[@UKTrucker_Malc]

The bed in Actros’s also lifts/tilts up on the passenger side of it 👍 Very helpful if your parked up leaning to the left 🙂

[@johnwhitehouse5244]

The Future. Just great. As a retired ( old fart). Driver. To much for me but wish you all the very best. With all the New Technology. Take care and stay safe. John Whitehouse

[@paddymckinty]

Fantastic detailed video Luke keep them coming and stay safe

[@philipgledhill7227]

Our Luke is awesome what he doesn't no about the Mercedes actros is not worth bothering about.top guy hope you are well philip.

[@overspeed3042]

Wow that is some amazing technology on that new merc fair play to you Luke, you'll be sorry to give her back I bet then its back to the neanderthal m.a.n for you my boy

[@f1xzor]

this is your new truck or just a test drive one? nice video by the way like always!

[@lukecinahgv]

Test drive mate. Had it got a week.

[@NickKolythas]

Greetings from greece. Great vids keep up the good work

[@davidhobbies7712]

I like this truck you should ask if you can use the truck on s full time loan good video fantastic information keep up with the good work

[@CaseMan-jl9mg]

Wow I'm amazed how much space and storage inside a truck.

[@JamieFretwell]

Great video Luke!

[@marylees6238]

killing the job!!

[@almuric1baggins337]

Absolutely! The next thing to be 'automated' will be the driver ie no driver required, so no job any more!

[@19692804]

When your driving along i bet you forget about the outside camera arms until you hit branches at that high, the camera arm is to far out and to high up but what do i know🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇹🦄👭

[@eyeinthesky6490]

Good lad ... no shoes on the carpet true driver

[@stugill4513]

great vid luke but you didnt tell us what cab that was streamspace bigspace gigaspace ??

[@PingasRemixer]

Funny to see you next village over from me, if I see the truck I'll give a wave

[@valentine75]

The reason you struggle to get out of your seat in the MAN is due to the massive steering wheel 😂

[@perlamiseriaccia]

Exactly, man has a huge steering wheel and for me it's just bad because I don't have long arms

[@ruiutomy1]

I am scared Luke C. I am really used to the old mirror fashion.

[@thebanditsix]

A USB socket near the bed would be useful, plus a built in TV at end of the bed.

[@spiderman01980]

I love the traffic sign assist really good feature. Do the camera mirrors have night vision?

[@maverick4220]

Wow the cameras are alot more visible then i first thought i would of thought they would of made them less visible or something and embed them into the panels of the truck abit more.

[@doms6741]

Do you find the crawler mode works? I found the lorry still goes fast in reverse

[@jackedwards8959]

Awesome truck!

[@johnbarnes4008]

awesome video what a great truck

[@TurtleGlo]

While I am a big truck and tech fan, I do lean on the side that the New Actros takes a bit too much to the technology’s side. There’s far little too buttons, which would make my brain reassurance not function properly (I wouldn’t be exactly sure I hit my intended button)

[@callumwharton6735]

There decent truck and have lots of features even the older one is a good truck but the gear box was to slow and didn't no what it was doing and the dealer back up is a disgrace! I no 4 very large haulage companies in our area who have now pulled out of Mercedes because the back up is just not good enough. We have one it's a 14 plate and every time it goes for a service it comes back with more problems then when it went with mercedes have had to just shy of £65.000 on it in the last year on R and M because they never do the servicing properly it's had 2 engines a gear box a diff and a back axle and 3 add blue systems we now have to have a hire daf in the fleet full time just to have it there for when the mercs break down

[@johnvancamper9581]

Got these on our job. Dangerous. In spray or low light you can't see anywhere near as well as a glass mirror. The camera is too high to clean on the move. LED car headlights and matrix signs on the opposite carriageway flash at you constantly due to the light frequency......very distracting. The test units had complete blackouts and had to be towed away. You can't use distance spectacles with them as they are a screen image at arms length rather than a reflection which would have depth of field. Loads of drivers have trouble reversing with them as the two cameras don't line up square with the trailer. Oh... and they have lines superimposed over the image...to "help " the driver judge how far back traffic is. If the screens were as good as a glass mirror they wouldn't need lines on them. .....and if lines on mirrors were so "helpful" then Merc would put them on their normal glass mirrors. In short .....garbage !

[@splashhs1]

Any chance of doing a video a. Day? Kidding mate but loving them. Cheers brother.

[@lukecinahgv]

Not a chance 😂 takes too much time to edit 😂

[@jordandurham8951]

Luke C in a HGV you could do a livestream now & again?

[@Trident750UK]

Sorry Luke.....great video as always......but give me a proper wagon with proper mirrors and a proper dash...!!

[@kheriwalafilms1840]

Very nice truck more system more advanced technology and many separate a scania

[@Litesnip2022]

Not a fan of these camera mirrors.

[@craigosborne8277]

When are you posting your video of the daf trucks you are doing and what truck are you getting actors or a daf

[@josephrussell9486]

Do you think you will get that truck in the future

[@grahamlive]

Those cameras stick out a lot. So what is the point of them? The stick out almost as far as your mirrors would.

[@BrandonAdam64]

they give better vision and take away any blind spot the mirrors would have

[@Tashyncho-Sapa-CEKTAHT]

same was thinking

[@grahamlive]

@@BrandonAdam64 I wouldn't mind a go with them. Though they'd need to be a lot better than the side cameras that are currently on the trucks that I drive. You can see bugger all in them. Especially in the rain. But I'm not totally against the idea especially if it can improve visibility.

[@GhostwingV2]

looks well high tech

[@TomLilford]

What a very nice truck, im very jealous haha :)

[@lukecinahgv]

Unfortunately I only had it for a week. It's gone back now but yes I do miss it lol

[@TomLilford]

@@lukecinahgv im not suprised, i would miss it too lol

[@independentwith1]

In a world with semiconductors shortage, they choose cameras and displays instead of very good working and cheap glass mirrors. And regarding aerodinamics, why are they still designing the cabins like a brick wall???

[@petetheresellerandscrapper849]

Engine brake and retarder are different things retarders are done via the prop shaft engine I'm sure you don't need that explaining

[@davidaldous8311]

Is the mirror cam an option for the new merc or do you have to have it?

[@johnhanson8385]

you can have conventional mirrors if that is what you prefer and three hundred pounds off the list price

[@TheRockgod23]

David Aldous The camera is standard but you can (as an option) spec it with normal mirrors !

[@davidaldous8311]

@@TheRockgod23 Ahh ok, nice to know that there is an option.

[@shaunoneill9908]

What is the actual point of replacing mirrors with a camera??

[@lukecinahgv]

Less overall blindspots, more aerodynamic.

[@stoneham2069]

The future!

[@norfolksuffolkfarmingvideo5199]

How come the engine management light keep flashing?

[@lukecinahgv]

It did it everytime I had the ignition on. When the engine is on it didn't appear.

[@norfolksuffolkfarmingvideo5199]

Luke C in a HGV ah pretty much standard thing then

[@alanadair7169]

We will see how much you like the cameras when they stop working leaving you at the side of the road

[@TheRockgod23]

Alan Adair I believe that Merc mechanics who get called out to 'mirror breakdowns' will be equipped with 'stick on mirrors' as a temporary fix !!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

It's happening on the buses now...change is upon us all...🤔

[@Elliot355]

Oh yeeaaas

[@alexpritchard7566]

You can guarantee the team at Mercedes who came up with with the mirrorless Trucks have never driven one for more than 10 minutes

[@davidwafulake]

Alex Pritchard False

[@dalelc43]

You can guarantee some brainless twat with no information thinks they know better.

[@thisizmadnezz9865]

Never drove them in rain more than 10 min. Garbage mirrors very dangerous. Everyone of this youtubers are promoting this garbage inovation on sunny days

[@flammenjc]

The problem is, as functional as they are with screens and all the ease of use and features that come with it, it's ALL useless on the unit if the screen fails. One display with both your gear indication and your speed and revs on, you've nothing instrumental to go off of about what speed you're doing. One display with stereo, climate control, satnav etc on it if the screen dies its ALL useless. Maybe you even iceblast yourself with the aircon but after the screen freezes or breaks you can't actually get back to the right option to turn it off and are forced to stop. Though I do like that they have buttons for each menu buti'd like the touch "pad" on the wheel to be a solid "clicky/notchy" joystick, that way you can feel the increments of direction rather than just a general analogue movement with no kind of ergonomic visionless feedback on what you've actually done. Because this way, over time you will end up memorizing all the menus and won't even need to look, problem with touchscreen/pad tech is you're FORCED to look, even if you know the menu's inside out.

[@ViperxCoDz]

thought i was watching a thomas nagy video then

[@lukecinahgv]

Yep. Unfortunately he pinched my intro.

[@johnhall3827]

so the computer is able to put it in overdrive ?but the human driver shouldn't .

I’m surprised it pulls that big fat stinker 😂😂

dont lke the mirror screens they look like a afterthought

Drops down to 5k rpm? You mean 500!

[@lukecinahgv]

yes i do. sorry

[@kevhunta]

hope your wish comes true

Don’t like the idea of mirrorless vehicles so much can now go wrong and the have driver will get more scrutiny

[@lukecinahgv]

Probably because it was a hot day 🤷‍♂️

[@egdiryellam68]

Does it wipe your arse as well?, the era of steering wheel attendant is well and truly with us. I just wonder how long this plastic fantastic would last down under with all the corrugated out back roads we have. There is no way a man can stand tall and proudly call them self a Professional Truck Driver any more.

[@iDrive123]

I drive an Actros 2763 through The Goldfields in Western Australia pulling a road train. Does just fine on our dirt roads. I came out of a K200 and hope I never have to get back into another Kenworth.

[@deeeeeeeench1209]

Just thinking about these mercs makes me feel sea sick absolutely terrible to drive
