Overview
Introduction of the New Truck Generation - The New Arocs (Model 964)
i
General
In early 2013, following the successful launch of the
new Actros and Antos, the new Arocs model 964
heavy construction vehicles will be presented.
They will be introduced in 4 stages:
In February 2013 the steel-sprung non-AWD vehi-
cles with the axle configurations 4x2, 6x4 and
8x4/4 will be launched.
In May 2013 these will be followed by the
6x2/2 VLA variants with leading axles and the
6x2 ENA/DNA with trailing axles.
From July 2013 the air-sprung construction vehicles
and all-wheel-drive variants will be available.
The 6x2/4 vehicles will follow in November 2013.
For construction vehicles the product group
Grounder (V1Z) will be introduced as well as the
Loader (V1Y) product group.
Grounders are vehicles with "overloadable" chassis
with steel suspension. They have 9 mm thick longi-
tudinal frame members (standard is 8 mm) and
strengthened springs. Large tires are also available
for extreme conditions.
Loaders are vehicles with weight-optimized stan-
dard and special equipment. Among the construc-
tion vehicles, these are primarily payload-optimized
concrete mixers and the semitrailer tractor
964.403 for tanker/silo service.
