The new Actros, in particular, is a shining example of the high safety level of modern trucks. This is demonstrated by fifth-generation Active Brake Assist (ABA 5), the emergency braking assistant, Active Drive Assist for semi-automatic driving, MirrorCam instead of main and wide-angle mirrors, and Sideguard Assist with pedestrian and cyclist recognition. ABA 5, as Stefan Buchner announced in Berlin, will be available as standard in Europe from 1 January 2020 in every new Actros and Arocs, as long as a braking assistant is required by law. Similarly, Sideguard Assist from Mercedes-Benz Trucks is now available not only ex-works but also as a retrofit equal in quality to the standard solution – for many popular models of the Actros, Arocs, and Econic from the production year 2017.
