Axle Ratio 1 : 3.923
Details & Technology
Each vehicle is specified with an appropriate final-drive ratio, which varies according to
model/engine version. The standard final-drive ratio is matched to the particular model
version, taking the factors of economy, exhaust emissions, torque and maximum speed into
account. However, depending on the actual operating profile, another ratio may be more
appropriate.
Benefits & Arguments
• Matching of tractive force and top speed to the corresponding application
• Optimisation of fuel consumption based on configuration of the drive train, vehicle
application and operating rate as well as the topography of the transport routes
-drive ratio provides more torque at the wheels and is recommended e.g. for
-climbing or if the vehicle will be regularly used with a trailer. Although a
-drive ratio provides less torque, it offers a higher top speed and can be
recommended, for example, for constant-speed motorway driving in flat terrain.
Remarks
Standard on 2500 models.
