Introduction of the New Truck Generation - The New Arocs (Model 964)
Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service manual presents the
new Arocs (model 964) and new features for the
Actros and Antos (model 963).
This brochure is intended for the use of technical
personnel familiar with the service and maintenance
of Mercedes-Benz trucks. It is assumed here that the
reader is already familiar with the Mercedes-Benz
model series currently on the market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components and systems.
All of the data in this brochure correspond to the tech-
nical status as of the copy deadline in November 2012
and may therefore differ from the current production
configuration.
We will publicize modifications and new features in the
relevant WIS documents only. Individual details in this
brochure may therefore differ from more up-to-date
versions published in WIS.

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.
