Daimler Truck Korea introduces the Mercedes-Benz Arocs Dump 4453K 8×4 model (payload 25.5 tons), which showcases outstanding performance in the toughest environments with powerful capabilities and exceptional durability.
The Arocs Dump 4453K is a high-performance premium dump truck that maximizes overall transport efficiency, adhering to the Mercedes-Benz innovative efficiency concept ‘Road Efficiency,’ combining total cost of ownership, groundbreaking safety features, and rapid return to operation after maintenance. It also possesses excellent off-road capabilities.
Antonio Landa Jo, the CEO of Daimler Truck Korea, emphasized, “The Arocs Dump 4453K is true to the essence of a dump truck, boasting robust durability and off-road performance in any harsh working environment,” adding, “Along with state-of-the-art specifications unique to Mercedes-Benz Trucks and industry-leading service benefits, we have achieved performance and efficiency simultaneously. It will be recognized as the best premium dump truck that domestic customers have never experienced before.”
Dynamic power elevating on-site performance once again.
The newly launched Mercedes-Benz Arocs Dump 4453K replaces the conventional single reduction system with a hub reduction gearing system, excelling in off-road performance, showcasing outstanding driving ability, climbing ability, braking force, and durability even in extreme environments. While single reduction models dominate the domestic dump truck market, the expectations are high for providing maximum utility in various aspects for drivers considering the truck’s inherent purpose and performance in harsh working environments.
The Arocs Dump 4453K is equipped with a high-performance, eco-friendly 3rd generation engine (OM471) that offers 20 horsepower more than its predecessor, achieving a peak output of 530 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 kgf·m. This is the new Euro 6 inline-6 engine developed by Mercedes-Benz and offers up to 10% improved engine efficiency compared to the first generation, contributing to better fuel economy and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
Meanwhile, the Mercedes PowerShift 3 (MPS 3) transmission delivers optimized performance for the domestic dump truck transport environment, providing outstanding durability and fuel efficiency. It features four customizable driving programs, including △Eco Roll Mode, △Locking Mode, △Economy Mode, and △Power Mode, ensuring the best efficiency in any environment. Furthermore, the high-performance engine brake delivers up to 170 horsepower of additional braking force, increasing the total braking force to 578 horsepower.
Durability and stable dumping performance shine in working environments.
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs Dump 4453K boasts exceptional work capability and durability with its outstanding hub reduction and final drive, smoothly transmitting the powerful output and torque of the 3rd generation Euro 6 engine, dramatically improving durability with a high-strength propeller shaft.
Its robust construction enables it to perform stable dumping operations even in rough and rugged conditions. With a unique high-strength frame, it can securely carry heavy loads and a high-rigidity suspension system enhances ride comfort during off-road driving. Additionally, a reinforced dumping cylinder cradle equipped with a high-strength dumping cylinder (the largest in class with a bore diameter of 149mm) prevents torsion of the cylinder, ensuring exceptional operational safety in any environment.
The load box, constructed with ‘Hadoc’ material that is resilient to heat, pressure, and scratches, is designed with a low center of gravity to improve vehicle stability while driving and loading. It also includes a block-type gate hinge for secure gate attachment and smooth opening, along with a wide rear chute to facilitate quick and safe dumping operations. An aluminum side skirt is fitted to the lower part of the load box to protect against lateral damage from falling material while improving the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal.
Maximizing operational availability and reducing repair costs with cutting-edge systems and hub reduction.
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs Dump 4453K is equipped with innovative advanced features that help prevent accidents, thereby reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership, and minimizing unexpected expenses due to accidents.
This Arocs Dump 4453K features a second-generation mirror cam that enhances safety and efficiency. With a more compact design and aerodynamic performance, it reduces the vehicle’s air resistance, leading to a maximum fuel consumption reduction of up to 1.5% (based on European standards). Durability has also been significantly improved. The upgraded image processing software provides clearer image quality, adjusts glare when sunlight reflects, and provides exceptional visibility in dark environments.
The advanced safety system of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, already recognized at industry-leading levels, is standard in this model. It includes features that detect potential accident risks, such as moving pedestrians, and automatically applies emergency braking when necessary, as well as a distance control assist that adjusts the space with the vehicle in front, a lane departure warning and assistance system (LDWS & LK), an electronic stability program (ESP), and rain sensors to aid safe driving in wet conditions.
Furthermore, the hub reduction system exhibits exceptional driving ability, climbing ability, and braking force even in extreme environments, contributing to the reduction of the risk of accidents and damages, minimizing repair costs, and optimizing operational time to pursue the ultimate in total transport efficiency (TTE) through Mercedes-Benz’s innovative efficiency concept ‘Road Efficiency.’
The smartest driving space completed with various premium functions unique to Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs Dump 4453K is equipped with a multimedia cockpit that provides drivers with a new dimension of maneuverability and convenience. Two full-digital displays with optimal resolution and visibility create a smart driving space that facilitates communication between the vehicle and the driver. Moreover, a large digital display dashboard replaces the traditional analog gauge, allowing for efficient access to vital driving information at a glance.
Additionally, a multi-touch screen allows users to control various vehicle functions and the infotainment system, offering intuitive usability akin to using a smartphone. Notably, the latest human-machine interface (HMI) technology ensures user-friendly operation for anyone.
Furthermore, it features an electronic parking brake that can be controlled with minimal effort, a hold function that reduces fatigue during uphill driving or stopping, an easy-to-use smart button start system, and a stylish remote key that enhances the pride of being a Mercedes-Benz owner, improving both the satisfaction and prestige of dump truck operation.
