Introduction of the New Truck Generation - The New Arocs (Model 964)
Front springs
The new Arocs has steel-sprung front axles.
The coding for the suspension of 4-axle vehicles is
new, as the code now includes the springs for both
front axles.

Rear springs
In contrast to the Actros and Antos, the Arocs is
available with air and steel suspension on the rear
axle. The air suspension is the same as on the
Actros and Antos. All-wheel drive vehicles are
always equipped with planetary hub reduction axles
and steel suspension.
The designation of the steel springs has been
changed. The new designation refers firstly to the
load capacity and secondly to the number of rear
axles. The load capacity stated in the designation
refers to both springs combined, in other words per
axle. On vehicles with 2 driven rear axles, only one
spring package is installed on each side in spite of
the designation. 2 x 10.0 t means 2 times 10 t load
capacity, i.e. a total of 20 t on the rear axles.
