New Mercedes-Benz Actros Safety Trucks 2010

[@rock3tcatU233]

The amount of energy those brakes have to absorb in such a small amount of time is simply staggering! :D

[@19ratedr]

@Motorhead289 It may not seem possible, but the radar sensing technology scans way far in advance to detect such potential hazards. and it's even more amazing how it applies the brakes, activates the hazards, flashes the highbeams, and sounds the horn to warn the drivers behind and to the side of the driver. it's simply amazing and THIS is a vehicle worth investing in.

[@Mcmerc01]

@86Vili86 But, In theory, the full braking is applied given that the driven is completely unaware and/or does not take any preventive actions. Let's say the driver is incapable of driving the truck anymore, the truck has come to a complete stop. it will not brake fully if there is any driver input.

[@ScottaHemi440]

the guy in the cars probably like GET ME OUTTA HERE!!! nice stopping distance for a big rig.

[@Haggman66]

That truck sounded just like a motorbike as it turned at 1:28!! LOL

[@vectorm1299]

@xyloman321 Truck is air braked, the air brakes use air to keep the brakes off. Break the air line or air brakes and the system vents to atmospheric pressure, and the brakes apply withouth the driver doing anything. I've seen air brakes fail to apply, but that was due to the air diaphram being caked in dust not allowing it to vent air and thus not allowing the brakes to work. Badly warn brake pistons can cause the air brakes to fail to apply

جبارة يا مرسيدس في كل انتاجاتك

[@arne97ful]

i think its a good assist for the trucker safety.and its great german safety quality,like in the other cars or trucks from germany

[@TheSpoddy]

@scareface999 It does not matter whether a truck is full or empty, it has the same stopping distance.

[@EdisonGuerrasr]

High technology!!!Fantastic.

[@WhoWantsToKnow81]

That is some serious braking power

[@TheSpoddy]

@anshumanabhisek I do not know where you're from but in Germany it is so that the brakes on a 40-ton trucks are rated for 80 tons and have to be. From a purely physical standpoint, it would vote on, more weight = more braking distance, but that's not quite true because there is the friction and the higher is, the faster the truck is at a screeching halt.

[@myvan]

Great breakes. Would love to see how they are made

[@jiperez190169]

The stop program must have two options, first if the car is moving the stop system must reduce the velocity to equal to velocity car. Second; if the car is static the procedure correct is a hard stop. It is very risk if the car is moving and the stop system is hard an accident may occur.

[@brrembo]

So the truck driver behind the yellow one will hit the first one for sure :)

[@bobthebuggy]

Noticed that the truck comes to a complete stop, rather than reduce speed to the same as the vehicle in front of it.. What happens to the guy behind the Mercedes without the brake system?? He will just pile into the back of the Mercedes truck??

[@caraccidentlawyers4u]

Look how quickly the brake assist works on this Mercedes to avoid a collision.

[@سيف-ر4ل]

[@maltijien]

But how about having the vehicle stationary?? Is there enough distance to stop a fully loaded truck from hitting the car? I think it would of been interesting to see that scenario !

[@denissemeama]

those are awesome brakes

[@rubennojoda]

@wsp1985 the truck driver wont be culped!! you are supposed to mantain certain distance from the car in front of you, and your car braking system is supposed to be in well condition as well as your tires... the system activates to avoid the truck to smash the car... but if someone else hits the truck, that's out of trucker's hands...

[@miri5434]

thats y i love mercedes so much

[@soberek]

And what if the surface is wet or iced? Can it detect the current amount of grip it has?

[@octaviouselec]

The driver of the truck does not push the break at all. The system makes a warning the driven is not acting and the system activates the breaks and then the horn and flashes the head lights and turns on the hazard lights on. In case if the driver falls asleep!!!

[@legiunnaire]

very nice truck

[@timmhg]

Amazing truck

[@MarinhsKampias]

i saw the inside of the truck shot and i thought it would crash!cooolllll

[@lilredr]

That's cool how they r putting that same technology in they're big rigs. For example say the driver is distracted the truck automaticly detects and stops safely. I think it wouldn't hurt to have that truck or technology like that in big rigs here, that is if its not already.

[@mitchellcorp]

@vectorm1299 I agree with your first 2 comments but your last comment i don't,there are 2 types of air brakes(1 the old wedge brake)that the brake is applied with the use of air pressure(2 the brake is applied due to lack of air pressure....i,e 24-30 or the 30-30 coupled with break away valves,where as the brakes you decribed (wegde) will release due to lack of pressure(dust,perforated diaphram(pancake)don't unhook your truck on a hill with WEDGES they will not be there in the MORNING.

[@RayVal53]

@diggingforgold well fortunately drivers are intelligent and leave sufficient reaction room between them and the 14+ tons of truck in front of them so in case the truck does stop like that, the cars behind will be able to stop or maneuvre.

[@احمدمحمد-ع3ت8ش]

I♡Mercedes benz actros♡♡♡

[@BigPandaStarr]

genialidad ! es una maravilla este sistema de estabilidad ! :D!

[@WayneWelly]

@diggingforgold i suppose its early days as well for the testing of the new technology, so maybe in the future they would react to different situations like you stated

[@سيف-ر4ل]

[@Burhansyla]

Hope the truck behind is also an Actros :D and can also brake like that :D.

[@07arshu]

Gr8... its mind blowing...

[@sirios555]

Hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EmergencyGear911]

How much weight is he carrying? Also does it break on its own? That would suck!

[@souliz428]

nice feature, now lets put a AMG on that!

[@pmlopmlop]

If I'd see that in my rear-view mirror they still had to call an ambulance as well, cause I would probably have a heart attack.

[@scareface999]

was the truck empty or fully loaded?

[@jesuitenquelle]

C180 is too cute to crash. Actros also agrees.

[@Turbosaunderground]

wow! excellent!

[@sktvz38]

If i were in the C class, i would have shat my pants :P

[@Ezalian]

I don't think the truck should come to a halt after the emergency braking if it detect the car infront is moving. That's not safe at all.. What happened to the cars/truck tailgating the yellow truck.

[@bugjuicer]

I'm impressed no doubt, but the truck just comes to a dead stop every time? Bit dangerous if it's on a motorway, isn't it..?! Cool stuff tho, wish my car stopped that fast..

[@sonicbaz1]

Will it work with a pedestrian or motorbike?

[@jiperez190169]

@scareface999 I think empty, loaded the truck needs more distance to stop fastly.

[@fuzzo73]

This is pretty cool, but if the trucks carrying 40'000 pounds of whatever, there's still going to be a mess, because at that rate of deceleration all that frieght is coming straight through the cab area.I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad safety idea, but this situation could easily end very bad for the truck driver

[@BillDFC]

Does the truck not have a steering wheel?

[@fiegenfiegen]

Great development! However, I do see a problem: what happens with the vehicles following the truck? The accident is guaranteed, and then it will not be the fault of the driver at the front, but the truck driver's fault. This system seems to transfer the consequences to the truck.

[@Jack-Wall]

What weight in that trailer?

[@actros777]

I Love New Actros Mp3 My Father Have A Megaspace And 5/5

[@pyrotash]

Great safety feature but what happens when some asshole cuts in front of the truck.

[@xyloman321]

@vectorm1299 haha thanks for the info, it was only a joke :) i think that truck would have to be one of the safest one of its kind out there!

[@alyxlyon]

Pretty neat, yet not so safe as fuzzo73 pointed out, do it with full load, and knowing truckers, throw in some extra. And to make things worse, at least where I am, truckers seem to ignore 80km/h speed limit set to them, instead they drive like mad man between 100 - 110 km/h causing havoc on their path as seen so many times. And what about log trucks that run here contantly... I can only imagine how the logs push through the cabin and continue their path hitting / killing anything on their path.

[@1drbl]

Strong truck

[@EepilineSander]

and what about the "cars driving behind the yellow truck" ? those cars will be smashed into the rear of the truck's trailer :d

[@beriliu22]

I like watching it,from 3:09 ...;)

[@Ekstromish]

Why should there hold a merc on the road?

[@HB45175]

Incessant beeping!

[@30godidd]

ich hätte angst im kleinen benz :)

[@unheard128]

Great so this will reinforces to truck drivers that it is now ok to be on your mobile while driving or reading the paper. I love technology and this is clearly progress but the more you take responsibility away from the driver they more they rely on the technology instead of skill. At least it may stop them tailgating as they will not be able to get that close

[@abdulazizateh]

والله الفرامل يا ناس

[@rarf2142]

@ruskijager and with a skoda? lol it will probably launch rockets from the bumper :P

[@proxyphobis]

What would be great is if Benz cars can interact with each other so that the Benz truck can say 'F*ck you dumbass' to the c-class. That would be Hi-tech

[@NoTrucksNoLife]

3 people have ever driven a truck in their life...

[@TheSpoddy]

@TheSpoddy Watch the video: Bremstest PKW - LKW (VW T4 gg. Mercedes Actros)

[@friedchicken1]

ALRIGHT.. dangerous for the cars in the back.. the truck should decelerate down to the same speed of the car in front NOT to 0! I'm sure they could figure that one out!! but so far good job

[@juanma28sagitario]

EL NUEVO TRUCTEKS MERCEDES BENZ CON EL SENSOR DE FRENADO AUTOMATICO..BUENO.

[@MiGGY_310]

did that truck beeped bii itself cool

[@sdsd004]

الماااني والله البريك

[@OriginalBernie]

Warning!! The ABA will only react, when the Car or other Vehicle in Front of the ABA-Truck is moving!! When this car in this Movie will be parking, ABA can't find this barrier, and does NOT brake the Truck -> CRASH!!!! But the newest ABA-Generation will find non-moving barrier and make Brake-reaction... (sorry for my Horror English)

[@OSoder]

verry god

[@rarf2142]

@ruskijager how bout an audi?

[@DanielJ83]

And if the Trailer isnt that new???

[@dor_paddy]

@chairperchdohere then you have to secure your load ;) your load must be traffic safe secured,if itsn´t possible,youcan´t drive ;) i´m driving too,so it´s theoretical at many loadings to secure it perfect

[@TheCiller10]

thats all good and well but what if theres another truck behind your magic breaks its self truck that stops dead when it didnt need to

[@tomekkorab]

nie zabardzo jestem pewny bo choćby nawet jak będą jechać w konwoju co zazwyczaj ma miejsce to ten wyhamuje a ten za nim ? :]

[@segaleitor]

lo mejor aleman

[@Leshiy712]

сколько камер снимали это? я сбился со счета.

[@2008murtada]

جباره

[@andy141096]

ein schöner V8 :D

[@jiperez190169]

@wsp1985 I agree with you

[@PSCHALLENGES]

still the reverse off a bridge way

[@Motorhead289]

It Doesn't seem possible for something to stop that quickly.

[@86Vili86]

and the blinking and the hore is useless at that moment it should be sounded earlier or not at all.

[@radiatorjack]

The problem is... the truck behind this truck doesn't have this technology...ouch!!!

[@TimothyWilmots]

i bet it won't stop when it detects a BMW in front

[@parinte90]

@Motorhead289 German engineering!

[@hasanh6152]

شي حلو

[@xyloman321]

i really would hate to be the guy in the car if the brakes failed on the truck!

[@abq1974]

really........WOW

[@buttdud1122]

i dont know about you, but if i was the car in front of it, that would scare the shit out of me...

[@mnuhaily1]

If I had this feature I would crash.. Cause when im racing i get close to cars goin pretty fast and then take gaps, the car would think ima hit em and slam the brakes, when in reality I have full control of the situation... Anyone understand me?

[@nickster102559]

not a fan of disk horns. great technology implemented though. (:

[@TimothyWilmots]

@rarf2142 with an Audi it is even worse i'm afraid, it will accelerate and play la cucaracha on it's horn.

[@REPULSION77]

Fahrer von seiner Ladung erschlagen... aber dafür hat es schön geblinkt und getutet.

[@MrTigrych]

Крутота. Не то что у нас....

[@AdamScott82]

seems dumb to me. the car is moving, all be it slower than the truck. so why does it stop dead?

[@volcomagain]

The semi in clearly unloaded... Lets stick 40 ton in there and see what happens
