Thanks to its 4x2 axle configuration, the truck maintains fuel efficiency while providing the torque needed on inclines.
- Safe Deceleration (Intarder): In heavy vehicle operation, stopping power is just as critical as engine power. The new series maximizes safe driving. 5-stage Intarder, This system has been added to the optional equipment list. It extends the life of the brake pads while ensuring the vehicle remains safely under control during long descents.
Cabin Architecture: 15 cm Critical Expansion
