This Mercedes-Benz Actros 1863 is a truck tractor unit — also commonly referred to as a semi-truck or tractor-trailer head — designed to haul heavy goods by coupling with a semi-trailer. Truck tractor units of this type form the backbone of long-haul and regional freight operations across road networks. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's most established names in commercial vehicle manufacturing, producing heavy trucks renowned for their engineering standards, driver comfort, and reliability across logistics, construction, and industrial transport sectors.
This particular unit was first registered in November 2015, placing it firmly within a generation of Actros production widely regarded for its advanced driveline technology. The odometer reads 167,986 km, reflecting a working history that is moderate by heavy-haulage standards.
Among the notable features recorded for this vehicle is the presence of a retarder, an engine or transmission-mounted supplementary braking system that reduces wear on the conventional service brakes, particularly valuable during long descents with loaded trailers. The truck is also equipped with stationary air conditioning, allowing the cab to be climate-controlled without running the main engine — a practical asset for drivers on overnight stops. A dual fuel tank configuration extends the vehicle's range between refuelling stops, an important operational advantage for long-distance routes.
The tyres are reported at approximately 40% remaining tread life, which prospective buyers should factor into their assessment of near-term maintenance costs.
The truck is currently located in Italy and is offered in used condition.
