The reliability of a truck is determined in the development stage. To this end, defined reliability targets are set for each individual part and assembly and for the truck as a whole.

Work at the Development and Testing Centre in Wörth draws on the extensive experience available here, applying the very latest scientific methods and focusing on our customers' expectations. In addition everything we develop is subjected to extreme stress testing. From the functional testing of individual components through to endurance trials on the test stand to driving trials. We test all aspects of our trucks' robustness, durability and reliability.

All engines offer a particularly robust, durable design, a high degree of reliability and an extended service life.

All components of the drivetrain are perfectly matched and produced exclusively at Mercedes-Benz.

Road and construction-site use impose different requirements on the frame, chassis, suspension and brakes. Accordingly, our trucks are equipped with precisely the components required for the job in hand.
